Answer

Hello Isaac! It is a name of TV show about dogs and their owners. "Дог-шоу" is original name of this show, you can translate it as "Шоу собак". I guess the creators use the name "Дог-шоу" beacause it has some rhythm and sense of joy, happiness and game in pronouncement. And for sure here is some analogy with term "talk show".

Answer

Nope, it must have been ток-шоу, that is "talk show".
