A Manx show dog picked up an early win at Crufts today (Friday).
Denise Simpson's seven-year-old Pyrenean mountain dog Teddy won Veteran Dog in one of the first classes of the day.
In the past he's won numerous Best of Breed awards and Challenge certificates at events in the United Kingdom, and many Best in Show prizes in the Isle of Man.
Crufts 2011 is being held at the NEC in Birmingham and continues until Sunday.
