A Scottish deerhound named after Caitriona Balfe's Outlander character has won the US version of Crufts.
Claire the Deerhound beat out hundreds of other pedigree dogs to take home the title.
The large grey dog, who is the first in her breed to win the competition, has the registered name GCH Foxcliffe Claire Randall Fraser.
During the socially distanced event, which featured no spectators, Claire won the hound group, besting seven finalists among 538 entries, before being chosen as the overall winner.
Impressed by the win from her character's namesake, Caitriona Balfe tweeted: "Congratulations Claire!!!"
Show producer Maril Davis added: "Apparently Claire isn’t a sassenach after all. She’s a Scottish lass! Congrats Claire."
While Outlander author Diana Gabaldon simply posted: "ROF,L!! That's GREAT!"
NBC Commentator David Frei said: "It was built perfectly, has an active, easy gait, and is elegant in the way that Sir Walter Scott had in mind when he called the Deerhound the most perfect creature."
Delighted Outlander fans were quick to congratulate the hound, with one fan tweeting: "I think Jamie and Claire need to get a Scottish Deerhound for season 6."
We're sure Outlander bosses will agree.
