In PUPPY BOWL PRESENTS: THE WINTER GAMES, the competition is filled with high-stakes drama as each team competes in three rounds: The Freestyle Challenge, Trick Tails, and The Agility Showdown. Each round will have increasing competition and challenges that include a series of show-stopping trick combinations and an epic round of speed and agility on a winterized obstacle course to truly showcase the best of the best.

In this epic showdown, audiences will meet contestants Blaze, an Australian Shepherd; Zoey, a Mutt mix; Hanabi, a Husky/Whippit mix; Chablis, a Chihuahua; and Mistricks, a Mutt mix.
