A Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen nicknamed Jilly has been crowned Best in Show at Crufts, arguably the world's best-known dog show.

The 4-year old, whose full name is Soletrader Peek A Boo, beat more than 20,000 dogs to take the title, BBC reports.

The dog, owned by Wallingford couple Sara and Gavin Robertson, vied for the title along with seven dogs after winning Best of Breed and then Best in Group in previous rounds.

The four-day competition was held at the NEC in Birmingham.
