Sculpt For Success

"Sculpt For Success" is the 8th episode of Battle of the Breeds. It premiered on April 30, 2022. 
In this episode, two new contestants join the game and Paw is feeling proud of himself so he orders his contestants to sculpt statues of him. 
== Opening ==
GPS and CD talk about how they are getting two debuters on their team, but CD is annoyed of how GPS always starts the morning repeating the same thing. CD then leaves, making GPS sad. Flashy and Nano are laying in the grass, but Nano is angry. She's mad at Caney for making the team lose and Flashy tells her that she's dead meat today.
The Husky twins are enjoying their day until Caney walks in, asking who are they voting. The brothers, staring daggers at her, are voting her. Caney, in an attempt to save herself, explains that there's a four person alliance on their team (Cookie's Alliance) and tells them to vote for Droidy claiming she's useless. In order to have 4 votes against her, Max is sent off to convince Rango to vote Caney. 
The shepherd is relaxing under a tree until Nano askes him to vote Caney. Max then comes in and asks him to vote for Droidy, which makes him start questioning his decision. Right after, Cookie comes in wanting to know who he's voting, but which the dog can't decide. Paw interrupts them saying that it's time for the elimination and orders them to follow him.
== Elimination ==
Everyone comes to the elimination ceremony, while the Shiny Glasses watch from the bleachers, much to Max's chagrin. Paw points out the outhouse to which Droidy says it doesn't look sanitary. The original contestant booth had been stolen, so they are forced to use the outhouse.

== Debut ==
The 9 debuters come up to the podiums and Paw and TV one by one kick off the losers who didn't get enough votes. It's up to P-Switch, Gum and Dio. And the people debuting were Gum and Dio with 7 and 6 votes. They joined the Shiny Glasses.
== Contest ==
The contest was to sculpt a Paw statue. The best statue won. The Shiny Glasses statue showed Paw in a triumphant pose while the Golden Canines statue showed Paw holding a statue, much to Caney's dislike. The Canine's statue's arm breaks off, nearly crushing Cookie, but killing Flashy. Max and Ryan volunteer to go find glue, and they head out into the forest.
While in the forest, Ryan tells his brother that store brand glue isn't gonna help them so they are gonna go find Temple Glue, a strong, long lasting glue created by the Nailpalm Tribe in the Nail Desert. They pass a bridge with a strange yellow liquid that cannot be water under it. Max thinks it can be either pee, butter or gasoline. Ryan holds up a match, intending to ignite the place but Max forbids him to.
Once they get to the desert, they locate the temper and find the glue. They have to sneak inside because the temple is packed. Max grabs the glue, but his tail is in the way of a torch, burning it. He yelps and a spotlight reveals their plan. The tribe leader, Cocoa Powder orders the tribe to get them and they make a run for it.
Meanwhile, the Golden Canines are impatiently waiting for the two dogs to come back, not knowing the situation they're in. Max and Ryan are running for their life as the tribe is angrily chasing them. They pass the bridge with the mysterious yellow liquid and Ryan decides to ignite the match and throw it into the lake. The twins skidaddle out of there as the match hits the water. It turns out, the mysterious yellow liquid was gasoline and it creates a huge explosion, potentially killing the Nailpalm tribe.
Max and Ryan are almost back to their team, but Nail Polish, Dio and CD stops them in their tracks. Not taking anyone's crap anymore, Max swiftly kicks Dio in the face, giving the twins time to run. Ryan throws the glue into Pudding's hands as they glue the arm back onto the statue, that's when TV yells that time is up.
== Judging Time ==
Paw seems to like both of the statues, but then he decides on a winner.
The Canines!
GPS is angry at this and says that it isn't fair since the Golden Canines statue had to be fixed because an arm broke off. Paw then says he made them win because he loves briefcases.
So the Golden Canines are safe and the Shiny Glasses are up for elimination. 
== Stinger ==
It is nighttime, and it's a very windy night. So windy that the Golden Canines statue tips over and hits the Shiny Glasses statue, knocking it down, causing it to break. The camera pans to Gum and Dio who are upset at this and Gum mutters, "Crap."
