If there were a doggie Olympics, Kayl McCann would be captain of the Canadian team. Her days (and nights and weekends) revolve around breeding these smart, sassy and speedy dogs. They already have 25 wins (including five gold medals) at the World Championships. The next World competition is in 2012 but there's no free ticket to the Canadian team. Kayle must qualify but canine competitions can be as fierce and cutting as a political election campaign - it's all about winning. And Kayl wants to win. But this year her fastest dog, Slyce, isn't quite up to par after having had a recent litter. And, at nine years old, this could be Slyce's last year of competition. But Kayl has a young secret weapon and his name is Funky Monkey. With her old and new crew of dogs, this feisty breeder is hoping to speed through the obstacles and taste sweet victory once again.

Jeannine De Palma isn't scared of anything. Her dogs, the Central Asian Shepherds, are known for their territorial instincts and well, so is she. She has shut down puppy mills, stood up to dog fight clubs, and firmly stands her ground in the political world of dog shows. But when it comes to the dogs themselves, Jeannine is a total softy. In this episode, Jeannine has brought back one of the dogs from a previous litter in order to nurse him back to health. Nothing is ever a lost cause for Jeannine - her days are spent rehabilitating him, both physically and emotionally, and is even confident that he could enter the show ring once again.
