LONDON -- Before they get to walk around the ring or fly through the air doing some crazy obstacle course, there's a lot of waiting around at dog shows.
The largest dog show in the world, Crufts, started Thursday at the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham, and continues until Sunday evening when best in show will be named.
Here are photos of dogs (and their owners) preparing and getting ready to do their best before they enter the ring:
