The challenge of the day is for the contestants to master a complex dance routine and then perform it in front of a live audience.

On the day of the performance, the contestants arrive at a crowded auditorium where they will perform for a panel of judges. Ruff reveals that the judges will be none other than his own relatives, all dogs just like him. The contestants are nervous, but they're confident that they can win with their bad breath.

The first contestant takes the stage, and the audience watches as he performs the dance flawlessly. However, he loses points for bad breath. The second contestant also performs well, but her breath is worse than the first.
