* BrainsVersusBrawn: The season 1 episode "Lack of Brains vs. Brawn" plays with this trope when Mr. Whiskers has to deal with TheBully Lester.

* FamousAncestor: Discussed. When Brandy believes that being a mongrel means she has no chance in the modeling competition, Whiskers reveals that he's descended from a long line of rabbits who did famous and amazing things. One grew the world's largest carrot, another (allegedly) signed the Declaration of Independence alongside America's forefathers. He points out that despite being descended from these great heroes and historical figures, Whiskers is still [[LikeFatherUnlikeSon basically a nobody]] in comparison. He uses this to teach Brandy that [[AnAesop your ancestry shouldn't determine your self-worth]].

%% * HeroicBSODHeroicBSOD: Brandy goes through this when she learns that, despite what she told Whiskers earlier, she's not a purebred dog. Disheartened by her new-found mongrel-hood, Brandy lowers herself to acting like a common dog and doing all the baser things normal dogs do. It takes Mr. Whisker's [[YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre heartfelt speech]] (and grossing her out) to get Brandy out of her funk.
