Launched in 2000, it is hosted by The Kennel Club of the United Kingdom and is named after Crufts, its world-famous annual show for pedigrees.

• "Prettiest bitch": For bitches aged 6 months to 7 years
• "Child's best friend": For dogs or bitches aged 6 months to 12 years, handled by a child aged 6 to 16 years
• "Golden Oldie": For dogs or bitches aged 8 to 12 years
