They were one of nine pairs at the competition, which tested the animals’ barking volume and charisma.
Mr Sinclair said Cruise’s barking ability was ‘‘all in the breeding’’.

It was the first year that the trophy was awarded, which was in memory of Bruce Duncan, who had created the event 30 years ago.
