The most successful breed at Crufts Dog Show, held annually in the UK, is the English Cocker Spaniel, which has won Best in Show (BIS), the top prize, on seven occasions – in 1930, 1931, 1938, 1939, 1948, 1950 and 1996. Of these seven wins, the first six were all by dogs from the "of Ware" kennel of Herbert Summers Lloyd. The seventh, in 1996, was by Canigou Cambrai, owned by Tricia Bentley.
Three of Lloyd's English Cocker Spaniels each won BIS twice at Crufts. Luckystar of Ware won it in 1930 and 1931, Exquisite Model of Ware in 1938 and 1939, and Tracey Witch of Ware in 1948 and 1950 (the competition was not held in 1949). The only other dog to win BIS twice at Crufts was Bramshaw Bob, a Labrador Retriever, which won in 1932 and 1933, and was owned by Countess Lorna Howe.
