By winning the competition, Forest and his owners have won a trip to celebrity hotspot, The Lakes By Yoo in Lechlade, Gloucestershire.

Mr and Mrs Eagle said: "I’m so proud of Forest.

"I’ve always known he was a gorgeous dog, not only in looks but in temperament as well.

"I’m really looking forward to the trip to The Lakes as it’s somewhere I’ve wanted to visit for a long time.

"The competition was a great idea and the Hedges tent was absolutely buzzing at the show."

The Moreton Show, a staple of the Cotswolds agricultural calendar, celebrated its 75th anniversary this year.

The event featured pop-up shops, food stalls, livestock shows, and country craft exhibitions.

Special guests included Clarkson’s Farm’s Kaleb Cooper.

Nicola Poole, managing director of Hedges, said: "It was very difficult choosing between so many gorgeous dogs, but Forest really did have something extra.

"He is not only handsome, but also has a winning personality, waggy tail and the shiniest coat I’ve ever seen.

"Hedges is a company of dog lovers and dogs are always welcome in our offices, so it felt like a very natural fit for us to run a canine competition.

"Long may it continue."
