Greatest American Dog will follow a group of "pageant dogs" who will live together in a house with their respective owners.
They'll compete against each other in a series of challenges designed to measure each owners' ability to train their dogs, with the winning team taking home the show's $250,000 grand prize.
CBS ordered Greatest American Dog under the title America's Top Dog while the Writers Guild of America was still ongoing.
Magic Molehill is producing Greatest American Dog, with R.J. Cutler, Stu Schreiberg and Stephen Kroopnick serving as executive producers.
