America's Cutest Puppy is^[when?] a television program on WE that searches for America's cutest puppy by visiting 10 cities in the United States^[1]. One puppy from each city is picked to go to the finale to earn the national title.

In each episode puppies from a specific city compete in the "Cuteness Round" where three judges determine which puppies are cutest. They pick the 10 semi-finalists they liked the best.

In a second round, the "Playfulness Round", judges observe the 10 semi-finalists at play. The judges narrow the original 10 down to 5 based on their playfulness.

The final round is the "Up close and Personal Round" where the puppies lick and play with the judges. The judges tally up all their results and pick the winner along with the first and second runner up. The winner from each city will go on to the finale.
