Adorable dogs of all shapes and sizes were at the Darlington Dog Show Society championship this weekend - take a look at our pictures below.
Groomed to perfection and on their best paw-havior were dozens of well-kept dogs from terriers to gun dogs and huskies at the show at the Ripon Racecourse.
From September 13-15, dogs of breeds from across the globe were inspected, paraded around and the best of the best were presented with awards.
Pictures show pups undergoing their final touch-ups before being judged as well as standing at attention for their owners with the hopes of being given tasty treats.
Here are just a few pictures from the day:
