ROCK star Sting and his wife Trudie won a coveted Crufts prize with one one of their Irish Wolfhounds.
The Roxanne singer, 74, and Trudie, 72, entered four of their dogs in the world famous show in Birmingham.
Murphy, handled by Laura Gwilliam from Salisbury, was named best of breed out of 125 Irish Wolfhounds and also took home the dog challenge certificate on Friday.
Sting and Trudie began their love affair with the large sighthound dogs in the early 1990s after moving to a 16th-century house near Stonehenge.
Actress Trudie started Dukesarum kennel to breed for health and longevity after the early death of one of the first pair they owned.
She posted on Instagram on Saturday that she was “absolutely thrilled and proud beyond words” at Murphy’s win.
She added: “Congratulations to all the entrants at Crufts this weekend who put so much work into their dogs – we all know how much they mean to us!”
Several of Sting and Trudie’s pups previously scooped prizes at the Kennel Club-organised Crufts in 2019.
Irish Wolfhounds are the world’s tallest dog breed and were originally bred for hunting wolves and elk.
