In pictures: Crufts 2013

Dogs of all shapes and sizes were out in force again today for the second day of Crufts in Birmingham.

In total, more than 25,000 dogs will take part in this year's show. London 2012, with its meagre tally of 11,000 athletes, pales in comparison. Competitors from 41 countries will take part, with dogs from some countries as far afield as India, Indonesia and Malaysia being represented for the first time.
