Meanwhile the Scruffts Family Crossbreed of the Year competition will see breeds compete against each other in teams to prove who is the 'goodest dog'.
The show will see various breeds returning from near extinction or competing for the first time - with 19 Harriers vying for the 'top dog' Best in Show crown for the first time since 1898.
The Harrier is an ancient, medium-sized, British scenthound breed, like a small Foxhound, but larger than a Beagle.
This specialist breed was recognised by The Kennel Club in 2020, after Harriers had all but disappeared in the UK in the 1920s.
In 2021, a revival year for the breed, The Kennel Club registered 38 Harrier puppies and there are 19 competing at Crufts 2022 for the Best in Show crown – for the first time in over 120 years.
Meanwhile the Smooth Faced Pyrenean Sheepdog will compete for the Best in Show title at Crufts for the first time ever, after being recognised as the 222nd breed by The Kennel Club last year. There are just two competing for Best in Show at Crufts 2022.

For Crufts 2022, the 31 Hungarian Pumis competing will have their own breed classes for the first time and will be vying for the Best in Show title.
Yesterday's launch also saw Paralympics presenter Sophie Morgan take her place as host for Crufts on Channel 4.
Speaking at the launch earlier this week, Sophie commented: 'I'm so happy Crufts is back! Every dog has its day at this amazing event and these three breeds making history are among them.
'I can't wait for the show to officially begin on Thursday and to be a part of it, and meet lots more dogs!'
