The first set of quarter-finalists take on a traditional dog groom when they gently removing the dead hairs from the coat of one of the UK's oldest breeds, the Welsh terrier, before producing a very modern look for the Dogwalk that requires smiley faces, flared legs and little outfits. Plus, in a new challenge, the contestants' knowledge of crossbreeds is put to the test as they try to identify a dog's parents.

The cute-as-a-button Pomeranian is the breed of choice in the final heat as four groomers try to achieve the perfect pom-pom shape using just a pair of scissors.

Sheridan Smith presents as four more professional dog groomers are put to the test.

Verity Hardcastle and Colin Taylor judge their efforts and decide who is going through to the next round.

Sheridan Smith and her canine co-host Stanley open the doors of the Pooch Parlour to four more professional dog groomers out to prove their skills.

They then give four fluffy puppies their first ever haircut to be revealed in front of their proud owners. Verity Hardcastle and Colin Taylor judge their efforts and decide who is going through to the next round.
