Intro

The Intro is the part in every Battle of the Breeds episode where the theme song plays. Throughout BOTB, the intro has been altered. 
== 2016 BOTB ==
The intro shows a red background with each of the 20 characters doing a pose. Their name is in the bottom right in their respective color. The order is; Cookie, Rango, Domino, Mug, Droidy, Nano, Flashy, Battery, Pencil Top, Carrot, Lamp, AJ, GPS, Ruler, Nail Polish, Max, Ryan, CD, Pudding and Caney. The Battle of the Breeds Logo is shown with its two hosts standing next to it. It cuts to black and shows the credits.

The third intro is now animated in Adobe Animate. The characters appear one by one with a background of their color. Their screens are now with in sync the music. After Nano appears, the screen fades to black with the 20 contestants text spinning in. It changes into 10,000,000 dollars and finally the text This is... as it zooms into screen with white appearing. The white fades out as it shows the contestants in the plains with their pose. The logo appears from the top. The credits text fade into the bottom. This was the first intro to use Inanimate Insanity assets and the first intro the dogs had visible noses.

This is the last intro animated in PowerPoint. The intro is the 2nd one but with modified poses and the dogs have noses. The Halloween variant had an orange, grey and black background and Paw was replaced with a mysterious person with a question mark. This appeared in Haunted Breeds (part 1) and the normal intro appeared in Haunted Breeds (part 2)

==7th Intro (2021-22)==

This is a remake of the 6th logo with new poses, a new design for the plains and the inclusion of Gum and Dio. Max and Ryan share a screen while Gum and Dio are a split screen. Instead of a fade into black into 20 contestants, there's a wipe into black. The 20 contestants text all have their own animation. There is a circular blur in the transition from the "This is" to the contestants instead of a rectangular blur. The new group shot has a perspective shot animation. Paw and TV come up from the foreground and presents the title to the viewer. The title screen pans downwards with a transition to an underwater background with the text "Created by: Gabriel Grant". This underwater BG is the bg of Gomenshire Beach from Gemtastic Frenzy. It then fades to black. The sound of the underwater shot. comes from the end of the SpongeBob SquarePants intro. 
The 2nd version of this intro was showed off on June 13, 2022. The intro was redone in 4K and has a cinematic widescreen 2:35:1 aspect ratio. This version fixes the "20 contestants" error and replaces it with 22 contestants. The intro plays as normal but there's a slightly different group shot to fit the aspect ratio with some contestants being spaces further apart from eachother. When Paw and TV come up, they both wink to each other and then present the title to the viewer. Then it transitions underwater and the text reads "created by Gabriel Grant". In the background, there is a text hidden in the ocean floor that reads, "from RangoAnimations with love". It then fades to black.
There exists a version of the 2nd intro in the regular 16:9 aspect ratio.
