He wowed the Crufts crowd by winning Best Hunting Dog last night – and then also winning Best in Show.

And Baxer, the crowd-favorite flat-coated retriever, didn’t just get the winner’s rosette — he wanted to eat it, too.

The results came after a 12-year-old girl with a rare and incurable gastrointestinal disorder impressed the judges on her Crufts debut – scoring first place with Shih Tzu Pebbles in the Minor Puppy Bitch section on Saturday.

The nine-month-old pup was one of six dogs Ellissia East-Hickman showed at Crufts – all of whom placed fourth or higher in their sections.

The schoolgirl, from Marden, Kent, wore a colostomy bag under her smart button-up jacket in the ring to help her cope with chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction, a condition which has seen her go in and out of the Great Ormond Street Hospital for much of his life. .

Ellissia, who has autism, said it was a “great achievement” to arrive at Crufts less than a year after she started entering dogs in shows.

She added: “I find dogs to be soothing, and it’s interesting to read about different dogs and get to know them. You can’t just say “a dog is a dog”, they all have different personalities and mindsets.

Mum Cheryl East, 44, who runs beauty businesses, said: ‘It’s still not really sinking in, we’re thrilled and so proud of Ellissia, we can’t believe it! In some categories there were Best Breed Group winners, but Ellissia’s dogs ranked higher.
