[edit] Plot

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

When Graeme gives Tim and Bill a special 'designer-dog' that they can enter the dog as a new breed in the Crufts Dog Show, they think that their dog is the only unusual dog there is.

Then they find that Graeme has been making all kinds of weird dogs for other people as well.

Some of Graeme's weird dogs, which he has bred for other people, include: a flying dog (a cross between a dog and a parrot) – a chair dog (a cross between a dog and a chair) – a stove dog (a cross between a dog and a stove) – and others.

One of Graeme's weirdest inventions is "Frankenfido", a six-legged monster, which is made out of a lot of 'spare parts' — the teeth being those of Donny Osmond.

Bill turns up dressed as a black and white dog called "Cuddly Scamp Hairylegs of Cricklewood", which proves to be a quick-thinking 'dog' when tested on "Mastermind".

Cuddly Scamp's meeting with "Frankenfido" has surprising results.
