Crufts 2016 gets under way with a special stand to 'meet and greet' the Dogs of Instagram

They are the Kardashians of the canine world, thanks to their social media accounts documenting their every move.

And now the Dogs of Instagram have taken their show on the road - appearing at the canine equivalent of London Fashion Week where they've been striking their best poses.

Instagram favourites Winny the Corgi, Noodle the Daschund and Mika the Husky have all made an appearance this year's Crufts show, being held at the NEC in Birmingham.

The Dogs of Instagram - who have tens of thousands of followers - made a special appearance at Crufts today, meeting their adoring fans at a specially set up stand. Enjoying their time in the spotlight were Bruno the Daschund (left) and Winny the Corgi (left)

Siberian husky Mika also made an appearance on the stand, which was not just there so people could meet their favourite dogs, but also to educate prospective owners about welfare issues

And just in case these precious pups feared there wouldn't be enough of a fuss made of their arrival, Crufts organiser, the Kennel Club, set up a special stand where they could be suitably admired with their very own 'meet and greets'.

However, it massaging egos was far from the only point of the stand. The Kennel Club was also hoping to educate prospective owners about welfare issues.

Some of the Instagram 'stars' - including a Pembroke Welsh corgi named Winston - have even been credited with reviving the popularity of their breed.
