An attempt to beat the world record to get the largest number of dogs to stay at one time has failed.

The UK's Kennel Club tried to break the current record, which saw 627 dogs "stay" successfully for two minutes, at Leicestershire's International Agility Festival on Friday.

A spokesman for the organisation, the country's largest dedicated to the health and welfare of dogs, said: "We narrowly missed the world record. We had 601 dogs that completed the stay but we needed 627.

"We did not beat the world record this time but there is always next year."

Competitors from all over the world took part in the challenge.
