YMMV / Bluey

• Accidental Aesop:
  • Parenthood is fun and deeply rewarding; it's also brutal, exhausting, and will obliterate the life you knew before and trade it in for a new one. Seriously though, don't think having kids will be easy.
  • An overarching theme in the show is that no parent is perfect, and there will be mistakes along the way where you might hurt your kids' feelings without meaning to. Regardless, it's how you learn from those mistakes and make up for them that counts.
  • Kids have different needs and can't be parented all the same way. Bluey's cast of kids have differing personalities, abilities and characteristics that their parents must learn to adapt to and parent appropriately.
  • Teaching kids life lessons isn't always as uniform as directly telling them. They may not always pick up on what they're supposed to learn and (as exemplified in "Show and Tell") even forget what the lesson was. Even if teaching life lessons isn't a conventional process, it's still important to lead by example.
  • What is minor to you—such as a kid momentarily not knowing where you are—can be devastating to a child. An example of this is "Space", in which Mackenzie still has nervous flashbacks about a time he didn't know where his parents were as a toddler.
  • "Movies", while intended to be about conquering fears, also showcases why it can be important to take things intended for a younger audience seriously (such as animated films). Bandit writes off Chunky Chimp as "Just monkeys singing songs", but Bluey is deeply affected by the movie's main message of being yourself and pretty much absorbs the lesson right then and there.
  • "Trains" seems to have an unsaid lesson about how one small selfish act can have a negative effect for everyone. Bingo's character (the veterinarian) was having an easy enough day when the train was running smoothly. But when Bluey's character (the cat-loving passenger) broke rules on the train and acted disruptive towards Bandit (the conductor), a lot of things went wrong for the "vet", including her child arriving late to daycare, and the vet's office falling apart in her absence due to tardiness.
• Aluminum Christmas Trees:
  • "Road Trip" features "Grey Nomads," who are old retired folks traveling in slow caravans. The Grey Nomads are actually a real phenomenon in Australia.
  • Some fans believe that the titular item in "Duck Cake" was made for the show itself, but it actually came from a cookbook published in the 1980's.
  • In nesting season, magpies really do become extremely territorial and swoop at passersby, just as seen in "Curry Quest." It's established enough that news outlets in areas with large native magpie populations, such as Australia, will remind viewers to be aware of "swooping season."
• Alternate Aesop Interpretation:
  • Some adult viewers saw "Sleepover" as an allegory for ending a party when a friend is drunk, as Muffin's erratic behaviour (actually due to Sleep Deprivation) is very similar to drunkenness. Even taken as is, it's an applicable moral, since studies on adults have shown that going too long without sleep can impair your ability to drive the same way as drinking too much alcohol, which would follow for other aspects of behavior as well.
  • "The Decider" has been taken as an allegory for many things, including a child choosing which parent to live with after a divorce (the most common one), deciding one's religious identity, being bisexual, being non-binary, being asexual, or having the moral "don't involve your kids in your arguments".
  • Some viewers saw "Work" as having a message "People can become homeless through no fault of their own due to having a Mean Boss" (due to Bandit roleplaying as a homeless man who got fired), while others saw the message as "Follow your dreams" (since Bandit's character wanted to dance, and eventually became a professional dancer).
• Alternative Character Interpretation:
  • In "The Show", after the balloon in Bingo's shirt (representing an unborn Bluey) pops during the aforementioned event, the music cuts to silence as Chilli and Bandit gain serious reactions on their faces while Bandit slowly clutches Chilli's hand. This has led to many interpretations:
    • Word of God revealed in 2023 that it was because Chilli had a miscarriage at some point, but even before the reveal, people were wondering if this was the case, with the consensus being that it happened before the girls' births. While the miscarriage part is revealed to be true, no statement was made on when it happened, so some fans think it happened before the girls were born (due to the balloon meaning to represent Bluey and "Sleepytime" showing the Heelers as the solar system and Bluey is Venus while Mercury is blank), others thinking it happened after Bingo (due to the nursery being open in "Bedroom") and a third camp thinking that she had two miscarriages, making both ideas true. People are also split on why it happened, with some thinking it happened from shock after Chilli's mother died, and others thinking the Cattle sisters have a genetic condition, which also explains why Brandy can't have children.
    • Before the reveal, a lot of fans thought they were bracing for Bingo having a meltdown, since Bingo had been feeling like a failure already that morning due to spilling Chilli's breakfast.
    • Some also thought they were saddened by a representation of Bluey being destroyed.
    • Given the revelation of Chilli's sister, Brandy, in a later episode^note She's said to want something she can't have, which is intercepted with shots of her playing with Bingo, implying what she wants is children, other viewers thought it reminded Chilli of her sister's infertility issues.
    • With the revelation about Brandy and an earlier episode, "Baby Race"^note In which Chilli is worried about Bluey's health and takes her to the doctor whenever she does something unexpected, some fans believed that Chilli and Bandit initially had difficulty conceiving or Chilli's pregnancy with Bluey was a difficult one.
    • Others, before the reveal, thought that Bandit was grabbing Chilli's hand to tell her to let Bluey console Bingo rather than doing it herself.
    • This also brought to debate Bandit's vasectomy conversation in "Perfect" — does Bandit want a vasectomy because he truly doesn't want a third puppy, or (presuming the miscarriage happened after Bingo) does he not want to try again lest Chilli have another miscarriage?
    • Was the miscarriage, presuming it happened before Bluey, part of the reason for Chilli's nervousness in "Baby Race"? Or, if it happened later, was it just normal "new parent" jitters?
  • In "Fairy Tale", Bandit tells a story (which he admits may or may not be true) in which he was jinxed as a child and a female Red Heeler around his age helps break the jinx. He claims this was Chilli, but she doesn't remember it (and in "The Show", Bandit thinks he met Chilli when they were kids but she thinks they met as adults). Was the girl in the story Chilli and she can't remember because the event wasn't as salient to her as it was to Bandit? Was it a different Red Heeler girl (perhaps Brandy) and Bandit just thinks it was Chilli? Or was the whole story made up (or it was partly true but the part about a Chilli lookalike wasn't)? Complicating the issue is that she's shown with similar markings to Chilli, but this could just be Bandit remembering wrong, and/or Bluey and Bingo imagining the girl as Chilli.
  • Many fans interpret the plot of "Double Babysitter" as being instigated by Chilli and/or Bandit to set Frisky up with Rad, seeing as Frisky recently broke up with her previous boyfriend and Chilli seemingly doesn't act surprised when Frisky arrives despite Chilli supposedly texting Frisky about the change; some believe that Chilli outright lied about sending Frisky the message. A few people who took this interpretation take it one step further and think that one or both of the Heeler parents (usually Chilli) set up Stripe and Trixie as well.
    • Also, when Rad showed up, apparently mistook Bingo for Bluey, and called Bluey a boy, was Rad really that clueless about his nieces, or is he really just messing with them? Some people have also taken that, plus him apparently falling into the pool at Bandit and Chilli's wedding, as evidence that he is a bit spacey in general, while others believe he fell into the pool because he was drunk.
  • Some people see the Flash Forward montage of Bingo and Lila growing up in "Daddy Dropoff" as simply being imaginary due to Lila's accompanying line being "I hope we're friends forever and ever and ever".
  • Until "The Sign", Brandy got a lot of this due to the ambiguity of her situation. It was implied she had fertility issues, but it was up in the air whether she couldn't conceive, did and lost the baby (and if so, maybe she couldn't carry), or could conceive and carry a fetus but lacked a partner. She's also the subject of more elaborate theories...that she was interested in Bandit, hence the "it doesn't fit" comparison, or that Bingo is secretly her child (which is why she comments on Bingo looking like her). "The Sign" shows her pregnant, meaning she can't be completely unable to conceive or carry. The other theories still haven't been disproven, and after "The Sign" some people wondered if she previously had a partner who was infertile but broke up with him after "Onesies". Whether she got pregnant from a partner or from IVF is also something the fans debate on.
  • Bosco, Frisky's ex-boyfriend mentioned in "Double Babysitter". Frisky, when pretending to be a princess, tells Rad, who's being a prince, that he'll probably go "looking for other princesses" when he gets the chance — does this mean that Bosco cheated on Frisky, or that he dumped her so that he could date another dog? Since he's apparently no longer even friends with Frisky, some think that if he didn't cheat on her, he was abusive, with a few people suggesting it was both.
  • Wendy appears to be a single mother, so some viewers interpret her as a lesbian and Judo as an IVF baby (since due to the resemblance, she's likely not adopted), while others interpret her as being divorced. Proponents of the latter theory point out that Wendy is never seen with another female dog, and in one episode it's mentioned that Bluey hasn't seen Judo in a while (possibly meaning that Judo was with her father). The same can be said of the Terriers' mother, and either or both of them may also be widows (though the Terriers' mother is not a lesbian as she has feelings for Winton's father). Some people wonder if "Casper", the guy Judo mentions during her phone game in "Butterflies", is a brother, stepbrother, or half-brother who lives with Judo's father, but other people think she made him up.
  • Indy's mother seems very close to a man from work, and at one point they're even seen holding hands, yet she's apparently married to Indy's father. Is Indy's mother cheating, are they in an open relationship, or is the man just close friends with Indy's mother?
  • In "Stickbird", Bandit is sad and angry for reasons unstated in the episode, and he at one point implies it's because he "put something beautiful into the world" that's no longer his. Joe Brumm has stated that it's up for interpretation, so viewers have come up with multiple theories —- some say Bob died, some say Bandit is depressed, some say he's sad because his daughters will eventually grow up, some say he's still insecure about his weight as seen in "Exercise", some say something is bothering both parents since Chilli was sad in "Relax" which came right before "Stickbird", some say Chilli is pregnant (due to her looking a bit pudgier in "Relax") and Bandit is worried she'll miscarry again, and others say he wrote an article or a book that got critiqued. After "The Sign", some people have also wondered if Bandit was sad at the idea of moving house.
  • In "Butterflies", Bluey goes to apologise to Bingo, who doesn't accept the apology until Bluey starts singing the "poor little bug" song. But Bluey sings, "No one to love her at all" instead of "No one to love him at all". Is this because Bluey was feeling unloved due to Bingo not accepting her apology, or is she saying that Bingo must feel unloved after what the other two girls did?
  • Why was Mackenzie the only one frustrated with the girls changing the rules of the game in "Shops"? Does he have anxiety (which ties into his nervous flashbacks in "Space")? Is it because he's the only boy in the group (since statistics suggest boys are less likely to make up rules for games than girls)? Or is it just because it's something that happens to kids sometimes?
  • One episode teaches the Aesop that sometimes, parents need some alone time. While the show tries to show Chili as being a bit frustrated, some have taken it to instead mean that she might have been having menstrual cramps.
  • Some people think the old woman from "Granny Mobile" is just a Grumpy Old Woman, while others think she has some sort of disability (either breathing problems, due to them being common in real life pugs, or a back problem, to explain why she's so short) and is lashing out because of that.
  • Indy is not allowed to eat gluten, sugar, salt, or dairy. Some viewers have taken this to mean she has food intolerances, with some even taking at as a Furry Reminder since food intolerances are common among real life Afghan hounds, but others think that, since Indy's mother is shown to be a Granola Girl, it's just a lifestyle thing.
  • Did Frisky act awkward when revealing she has three friends because she's self-conscious about having so few friends, or because she lost a few friends after her breakup with Bosco because they sided with him (and/or, if the adultery interpretation is true, because the woman he cheated with used to be her friend)? When she describes Rad as "too muscly", does this mean she's not normally attracted to muscular guys, or that Bosco was also muscular and thus she doesn't want to date someone who reminds her of him?
    • Fans also speculate who the three remaining friends Frisky refers to are. It's agreed that it is a safe bet that Chilli is one of the three given that, since she is Bluey's godmother, Frisky is likely Chilli's best friend. The other two are open to much more interpretation. Trixie is also popular choice for one of the three. As part of the theory that Chilli not only set up Rad and Frisky, but also Stripe and Trixie, fans interpret Chilli's closeness with both of them as three of them all being childhood friends. The third spot is much more open for speculation, though given the strong belief that Frisky has been friends with Chilli's family since childhood, some say that it might be Chilli's big sister Brandy. Some people also think that Bandit was one of them, perhaps in place of Trixie.
  • Fans have come up with different reasons for why Frank felt awkward playing goofy games like Bandit with Chloe. Some think he's autistic (interpreting his interest in marine biology as a "special" interest), while others think he's an Everyman who's designed to represent parent viewers who weren't as "fun"/spontaneous as Bandit. Some have also taken "Dunny" into account, in which he and his wife ban Chloe from using the word "naughty" but let her use the word "dunny" and say that the Dalmatians' parenting style is to essentially treat children as similar to adults — "Naughty" is banned because it sounds too patronising, and games are too childish for his tastes, but "dunny" is allowed since he has no problem with children using impolite words.
• Alternative Joke Interpretation:
  • In "Bingo", Bingo puts together a jigsaw puzzle of a world map, only to find the piece that depicts New Zealand missing. When she tells her father Bandit that "New Zealand is missing", he says, "Not again!". Is this referring to another time the puzzle piece went missing, or is he complaining that many world maps don't depict New Zealand?
  • In "The Creek", Mackenzie (a Border Collie) compares walking on stepping stones to "jumping from one sheep to another". This was intended as a joke about how Border Collies are often sheepdogs, but because Mackenzie is also from New Zealand, some viewers thought it was a joke about New Zealanders liking sheep a little too much, with a few even thinking it was both.
  • In "Ice Cream", when the Heeler sisters are sad about their ice creams melting, but Bandit says that they learned a "valuable life lesson" (about sharing), Bluey retorts that she doesn't want a valuable lime lesson — is this simply a childish misunderstanding of words, or is it a Freudian Slip because she wants ice cream?
  • In "The Show", Chilli says that she doesn't remember the Queen being at the party where she and Bandit allegedly met. Bandit responds, "Well, you wouldn't." Is the joke that Chilli was drunk at the time, or that she's forgetful in general?
  • In "Bumpy and the Wise Old Wolfhound", Bandit's character says that he has "bum worms", then when he goes out-of-character, he scratches his butt. Does this imply that he really does have worms, or (since Muffin also scratched her butt later) that the underpants everyone has to wear are itchy and he ad-libbed the line to vent his annoyance at that? Stripe later tells Socks, who is biting Bandit on the rear, "Be careful, he has bum worms!", but this could just be brotherly teasing.
  • In "The Sign", Chilli reveals she and Frisky hung out at a lookout as teens, claiming they went there to think, but her voice suggested she was lying. This was intended as a Shout-Out to an episode of The Simpsons where Homer mentions wanting to do some "serious thinking", but Bart thinks he means "serious drinking", and thus the implication was that Chilli and Frisky drank at the lookout. However, some people didn't get the reference and thought it was referring to smoking (perhaps marijuana since that can make people thoughtful), or to kissing or having sex, whether with their boyfriends or each other.
• Applicability: 'Dance Mode' stresses the difference between a pressured, hesitant "yes" and enthusiastic consent. The conflict of 'Yoga Ball' is that Bandit sometimes plays too rough with Bingo, who only enjoys when he's a little bit rough, and so she works on using her "big girl bark" so he'll know when to ease off.
• Arc Fatigue: The first two seasons were each divided into two parts and only took a little over a year to release all 52 episodes. Season 3 was divided into four parts, started in 2021, and finished in 2024. Fans obviously weren't happy about season 3 taking so long to finish airing (which was to cover for an extended hiatus that started after production on that season ended), especially with India and Canada (accidentally) airing the final three episodes months before even Australia aired them.
• Base-Breaking Character:
  • Muffin, due to her being a volatile tantrum-thrower. Some adult viewers, even parents, find her to be a hilarious and highly quotable character and like how she reminds them of a "Muffin" in their own lives, while others find her and her behavior to be incredibly obnoxious and dislike how she reminds them of a "Muffin" in own lives. Some parents have even banned episodes featuring her from their households when their kids started to emulate her behavior.
  • Calypso. She's a gentle, breezy teacher with a soothing voice, but also kind of a mascot for the rather controversial Waldorf schooling, and not really depicted as having any flaws.
  • Stripe and Trixie. Their critics see them as frequently absent parents who spoil Muffin (especially Stripe) and often leave the parenting to one or the other, or to Bandit and Chili. Some even accuse them of playing favorites with Muffin, which they cite as a possible reason why she usually visits her cousins with one or both of her parents with Socks nowhere to be seen or mentioned. Their defenders see them as trying their best to be involved parents in both of their children's activities, while working a more difficult schedule than either Bandit or Chili, and will point out that Muffin and Socks are much younger and understandably more difficult to handle than Bluey and Bingo, especially since Stripe and Trixie often have to deal with Muffin's Bratty Half-Pint tendencies.
• Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: "Puppets" ends with Bluey going to bed, which suddenly lapses into a "Behind The Scenes" segment showing the animation process of the episode's final scene, then plays the scene for real, with Bluey waking up and commenting about the "weird dream", implying she saw herself being animated.
• Broken Base:
  • "Exercise" — its fans see it as a fun episode with an important message about health, and enjoy the fact that a New Zealander was cast as the doctor, but the scene at the beginning where the parents weigh themselves and are unhappy about their weights is divisive — some people see it as fat shaming and/or think it could make kids insecure about their weight, while others defend it by saying that being overweight can be unhealthy, that kids see their parents weighing themselves or watch shows with fat jokes all the time without developing issues, and that Bandit has been insecure about his health and/or weight before (such as in "Ice Cream" and "Grannies"). Eventually, that scene got cut, but that also caused fights, with some thinking it was good it got cut and others thinking it was bad due to either the aforementioned reasons or simply seeing the show as a Sacred Cow.
  • One hotly debated issue is whether or not Bandit and Chilli should have a third puppy — some people say yes, since Chilli has wanted a third puppy in "Perfect" and "Bedroom", gaining a new sibling is a common experience for kids so it would be a good thing to have on a kids' show, and it would especially be good if Bluey and Bingo had a little brother, for variety's sake since all the current Heeler kids are girls. Other people, however, think that the show would be changed too drastically if a third baby was born, and that a baby would be a boring character since there isn't much a baby can do.
• Common Knowledge:
  • "They confirmed Bluey to be a rainbow baby" is only partly true — while Joe Brumm did confirm that Chilli (Bluey's mother) had a miscarriage at some point, he didn't reveal when it happened. A rainbow baby is defined as the first baby born after a miscarriage or stillbirth, so Bluey would be one if the miscarriage was Chilli's first pregnancy, but if it happened between Bluey and Bingo, then Bingo would be the rainbow baby and Bluey would be a "sunshine baby" (the last baby born before a loss), whereas if it happened after both girls, then Bluey would have no special title and Bingo would be a sunshine baby.
  • Some viewers think that, in "Chickenrat", sauerkraut initially made Bandit burp, but they censored it into making him sneeze, as Disney is notorious among the Bluey fanbase for removing Toilet Humour. What actually happened was the reverse — sauerkraut initially made Bandit sneeze, but due to parents fearing this would encourage kids to eat food they were allergic to, it was changed to making him burp.
  • There's a few people who think that the show has a Running Gag of doing a "tactical wee" before you leave the house. "Tactical wees" were actually only mentioned in one episode ("Fruit Bat") and it was in the context of going to bed.
  • When Rad first appeared in "Double Babysitter" most people assumed that he was the youngest of Grandpa Bob and Nana Chris' children. While he does admittedly have fewer grey hairs than Bandit and (as of right now) is the only one without children, there is no reference to Rad's age. People wrongly believe that Rad was the youngest and that the order was Bandit, Stripe, then Rad until "Fairytale" came out a year later and showed that Rad was actually the oldest brother with the order going Rad, Bandit, then Stripe.
  • A much more minor example also comes from "Double Babysitter". Fans usually state that Frisky is the godmother to both the girls, but the episode itself only states that she is Bluey's, leaving her status as Bingo's up in the air.
• Crosses the Line Twice:
  • Twice in "Mum School". The first happens when Bluey explains the game to Chilli. Clearly unaware of the intense and painful process that labor is, Bluey happily claims to have given birth to all sixth of her balloon children. Chilli on the other hand is understandably mortified. The second comes later when Bluey is trying to get the balloon children to the bathroom. Not understanding child abuse either, Bluey starts hitting them with a large roll of wrapping paper to get them down the hall. Bluey giggles as she does so, but Chilli is again understandably uncomfortable at the sight.
  • Unicorse's initial answer to Bluey's question on what his favorite food is: "Children".
  • Making various things "heavy" in "Featherwand" is hilarious. Bluey and Bingo making the toilet seat heavy? Hilarious. Bandit running out to pee in the front lawn instead? Hysterical. Him doing this where Wendy can see him? Ridiculously funny.
• Demographically Inappropriate Humour:
  • Inevitably in an episode concerning a baby shower, Bingo gets around to asking "how babies get into a lady's belly" in 'Daddy Putdown'. As you'd expect, Bandit noticeably pauses and then quickly changes the subject (this exchange is not shown on the Disney+ version.)
  • Bluey's cousin Muffin suffers from sleep deprivation in 'The Sleepover', which is translated into mannerisms very reminiscent of an intoxicated person. She picks fights with inanimate objects, runs off with and crashes a play car, and (once she recovers) wonders why she woke up next to a lawn flamingo.
  • At one point in 'Bob Bilby', Chili arrives with a bike and asks if the puppet's "ready" in a breathy, seductive tone. The Polaroid camera Bandit holds over his lap at that moment flashes and develops a photo.
  • In 'Verandah Santa', Uncle Stripe lies still and moans quietly after suffering various Amusing Injuries, implying he is drunk on festive cheer.
  • The entire premise of "Whale Watching" is that Chili and Bandit are very lethargic after attending a New Year's Eve party, and it's heavily implied that they're hungover.
  • In Stumpfest, Trixie and Chili appear to be buzzed as they shout down at Bandit, Stripe, and Pat; when Bluey delivers lemonade to the dads, their reaction shows them not expecting how strong the lemonade was.
  • In "Perfect", Fido and Bandit have a conversation that is very heavily implied to be about getting a vasectomy (the Disney+ version changes the topic of conversation to be about getting dog teeth removed).
  • In "Tradies", when Bluey mentions that Chippy is no longer allowed to drive his car, she draws a cup of beer, indicating that he got a DUI.
  • In "The Sign", Stripe is clearly drunk at Rad and Frisky's wedding reception. The next morning shows that he actually fell asleep in Wendy's bushes and he's hungover as she wakes him out.
• Diagnosed by the Audience:
  • Some viewers think Socks is autistic, to try to explain why she acted like a real dog before turning two.
  • Bluey is also frequently speculated to have some sort of neurodivergency, usually ADHD. The reasons are that in one episode she gets distracted playing hide and seek, in "Fruit Bat" she has trouble sleeping, and her school is very play-focused. Some also think the same thing about Muffin because she hardly ever sits still.
  • Some fans have also speculated Bingo to have a form of autism as well. Her interest in bugs sometimes causes her to be distracted by them, she is a little more emotionally sensitive than her sister, and episodes such as "Yoga Ball", "Dance Mode", and "Hairdressers" shows her difficulty in finding her voice is something kids with autism struggle with.
  • Another character who people have speculated as autistic is Frank, Chloe's father, due to him being more grounded in his thinking than Bandit, and having a niche interest (sea creatures).
• Ensemble Dark Horse:
  • The Heelers' extended family tends to get a lot of love despite their sporadic appearances:
    • Socks Heeler appears far less than her big sister Muffin but gets quite a bit love from fans for how adorable she is, both during her feral puppy phase and for her carefree personality post phase. She is epically loved by autistic fans who interpret her puppy phase being inconsistent with other babies as a form of autism.
    • Bandit's brother Rad and his eventual girlfriend (and later wife) Frisky have each only appeared in four episodes (three of which they appeared together). Yet, fans have glommed onto them due to their natural chemistry and enduring personalities.
    • Grandad Mort won fans over for being a Cool Old Guy and for fleshing out Chilli's side of the family at a time when we didn't know anything about them.
    • So far Chilli's big sister Brandy has only been in two episodes and her voice was briefly heard in the stage play. However, she is beloved by fans for how absolutely heartbreaking her story^note she was estranged from Chilli for four years due to feeling miserable from wanting something she can't have, which is heavily implied to be kids is.
  • Despite only having a major role in one episode, Jean-Luc is pretty popular among the Periphery Demographic, with many people shipping him with Bluey. Tellingly, he's the only one-shot character to have a figure in the show's toyline.
  • Despite being a relatively minor character, Mackenzie's one of the more popular characters out of Bluey's friends.
  • Jack is a little Jack Russell terrier introduced in the season 2 episode "Army". He’s quite popular, being relatable to people with ADHD due to his fidgeting and lack of focus.
  • Dougie has attained quite a lot of fan appreciation, not only for providing solid representation for the deaf community, but for his adorable appearance and personality.
  • Pat is probably the most popular of the adults outside of the Heeler family, no doubt due to being such a good sport about being sucked into the girls' games, even going a similar route to Bandit in committing to the bit.
  • Wendy's popularly skyrocketed after season 3 showed off more of her caring nature, especially to the Heeler girls.
  • Lila is beloved for her loving friendship with Bingo (with some fans wanting more between them) despite her surprisingly small number of appearances.
  • Pom Pom has only appeared in a couple of episodes, but she's still very popular due to her round, fluffy appearance and adorably squeaky voice.
  • Despite only appearing in three episodes so far (and not even speaking in the third), Grandad Mort's best friend Maynard is well-liked for being surprisingly reasonable despite being a bit of a Cloudcuckoolander. He's especially popular with fans who ship Mort with him.
  • Cornelius (Winton's dad) and the Terriers' mum have (so far) both only spoken in one episode each with the latter only appearing in two episodes. And yet, fans quickly took to the love story unfolding between them in the background and the touching blended family (e.i. stepfamily) representation that goes with it. Cornelius' selling his house to move himself and Winton in with the Terriers' family, resulting in preventing the Heelers' house from being sold and causing Bandit to change his mind about moving, practically catapulted him into Memetic Badass status with the fans over night.
• Fan Nickname: The universe the show takes place in has been dubbed the "Blueyverse" by fans.
• Fan-Preferred Couple: Some fans are much more interested in exploring Grandad Mort's relationship with his best friend Maynard than that of his deceased wife/mother of his children.
• Fandom Rivalry:
  • A one-sided rivalry with the Attack on Titan fandom, of all things. AOT fans always want their show to be the highest rated on sites such as MyAnimeList, and when they found out that "Sleepytime" was higher rated on IMDB than "Hero," they started to review bomb Bluey. In the end, the Bluey episode descended 15 places while "Hero" remains second only to "Ozymandias."
  • Also with Peppa Pig, with each fandom using being part of the opposing fandom as an insult. It mostly stems from Bluey fans seeing the show as a superior version of Peppa Pig, which in turn led the Peppa Pig fans to see the Bluey fans as snobs.
• Fanfic Fuel:
  • The Flash Forwards in the endings of "Daddy Dropoff" and "Camping" providing glimpses of Bingo and Bluey's teen years are ripe ammunition for fanfics of the girls' futures, especially for Shipping fics that center around Bingo/Lila and Bluey/Jean-Luc becoming more than friends.
  • The flash forward in "Surprise!" provided a particularly ripe source of speculation, thanks to the reveal of Bluey's adult self and her future child.
• Fanon:
  • In "The Show", Bingo pretends to be Chilli pregnant with Bluey and stuffs a balloon under her shirt. The balloon pops, which makes the Heeler parents sad. This causes some viewers to think that either Chilli had a miscarriage before she had Bluey and Bingo, the balloon popping reminded them of Chilli's sister Brandy's implied infertility (shown in "Onesies"), or both.
    • Word of God eventually confirmed that Chilli did indeed have a miscarriage, though the part about it being before Bluey was born is still fanon, since it was never revealed when exactly the miscarriage happened.
    • The fans also have decided that the miscarried child would have been a boy.
  • Before she turned two, Socks behaved more like a real dog, yet dogs in the Bluey universe can't be born non-anthropomorphic, since in "Baby Race", Bluey, Cocoa, Judo, and Snickers are seen as anthropomorphic baby dogs. Two fan theories are that Socks is autistic and this is how autism manifests in the Bluey universe, or that after learning to walk but before their second birthdays, the dogs go through a "feral" phase.
  • It's a very common belief that Chilli used the "Double Babysitter" plot to set up Frisky with Bandit's brother Rad, using it as a means to help Frisky get over her ex-boyfriend. Following this, some believe that Chilli did the same with Trixie and Stripe beforehand, following the logic that Chilli and Trixie seem to be old hockey buddies and Stripe and Trixie became parents after Bandit and Chilli.
  • The 2016 pilot has Bluey in a stroller and Bandit being uncharacteristically inattentive and lethargic. Fans believe the pilot is not only canonical, but have explained it as being set when Bluey was two and Bingo was just born, explaining Bandit's behaviour as due to sleep deprivation from Bingo not being sleep trained yet.
  • There are several theories as to why there are anthropomorphic dogs and no humans. Some people think the show takes place in Humanity's Wake, while others think Bluey's a normal dog and it's all in her imagination, and others think it's simply a parallel universe where dogs are the dominant species.
  • In one episode, Bandit is seen packing his daughters' lunches, and he notes that one of the sandwiches is gluten-free and the other one isn't. This has led to theories that one of the Heeler sisters has celiac disease (usually Bingo to explain why she was in the hospital in "Bumpy and the Wise Old Wolfhound"). An alternate theory is that the gluten-free sandwich was meant for Bluey in case she had to share with Indy, who doesn't eat gluten, or that one of the girls' schools bans gluten.
  • Calypso is thought by some viewers to have magical powers, to explain why she's so competent at dealing with that many kids at once.
  • Some theories have been thought up to explain the Heelers' expensive-seeming houses. While the simplest explanation would be that Bandit and Chili's jobs pay them well, a handful of fans suggest Bandit and Chilli smuggle the items he digs up (though that's mostly a tongue-in-cheek theory), while others think that someone in the Heeler family won the lottery.
  • Some people think Bandit was in a band once, to explain both why he seems to be good at playing the drums, and why he has a photo of himself rocking out in a blond wig.
  • Because Radley is the only Red Heeler in the family, some people think he's adopted, a half-brother, a stepbrother, or that either Bob or Chris had at least one Red Heeler parent.
  • Because Chilli grew up in the bush, some people have decided that the reason she didn't think "dunny" was a "nice" word in "Dunny" was because she was afraid of being seen as a "bogan" for having grown up in the bush and using such a uniquely-Australian word.
  • Some people have explained the frequent flash-forwards and inconsistencies in the house layout as the show being set in the girls' memories.
  • The old woman from "Granny Mobile" is sometimes thought by viewers to be the grandmother of Buddy, since both of them are pugs.
  • Bingo's line "Goodnight, Grandpa Bob, wherever you are" initially led to speculation that Bob is dead. When Joe Brumm confirmed this was not true in a podcast, people instead decided that he either got a divorce after "Grannies", lives in a retirement home (perhaps because he's senile and/or dying) and Bingo wasn't told about it, or travels a lot. "The Sign" confirmed that Bob went to India to "find himself".
  • Due to Bingo enjoying medical-themed games, some people think that she either has a chronic disease (to tie into her being in the hospital in "Bumpy and the Wise Old Wolfhound", the gluten-free lunch, and her feeling nauseous easily in in "Yoga Ball") or will be a nurse when she grows up.
• Friendly Fandoms:
  • With Elinor Wonders Why and Lupin's Tales, as they are all comforting cartoons with cute animal characters.
  • Also has one with 101 Dalmatian Street due to both being centered around dogs as well as both shows airing on Disney branded channels.
  • With the Peabody Award winning animated series, The Owl House, with both shows about female protagonists having fantastical and imaginative adventures in their respective worlds, as well as having some slice-of-life episodes in their respective series. Owl House fans have also created crossover fanart such as Luz, Eda, and King in Bluey's character design or Bluey and Bingo hanging out in the Boiling Isles, as well as Bluey and Bingo dressing up as Eda and Lillith, and Luz, Eda, King, and Raine doing a reenactment of the Bluey theme song.
  • Shockingly, despite both being polar opposites tone-wise, with BoJack Horseman. As both fanbases are aware of the others' show, Bojack fans note that watching Bluey comforts them after the former breaks their heart, while on the other side, Bluey fans state that the former was a great show while referencing the "What is this, a crossover episode?" line when Bojack is brought up. This crossover parody image had an emotional response in both Bluey and Bojack's subreddits.
• Germans Love David Hasselhoff: The show has a large fanbase in the United States and the United Kingdom, thanks to its unique airings on Disney Junior in both countries. It was even trending #1 on Disney+ for a few weeks before being overtaken by The Simpsons, but is at #2. Though by late 2022, it would reclaim that top spot, which it would be under until The Owl House overtook Bluey in 2023 as it was at #3 so far. Since then, it's jumped back and forth between the top spot and #2 spot, depending on what originals and new Disney films are premiering around the time.
• Harsher in Hindsight:
  • In the episode "Sleepytime", Bingo and Floppy go their separate ways, to which Bingo is devastated. In the episode "Smoochy Kiss," we see in a Freeze-Frame Bonus a photo of Bingo as a baby snuggled against Floppy, who is much larger than her. Bingo's reaction to Floppy leaving makes a lot more sense now.
  • After "Dragon" reveals that Chilli's mother has passed, Chilli's frustration with her dad's refusal to take care of himself and saying she still needs him in "Grandad" takes on a much heavier tone.
• Hilarious in Hindsight:
  • David McCormack, the voice of Bandit, claims to have owned a pet cattle dog that was also called Bandit as a kid.
  • The episode "The Weekend" features Bluey showing off a doll that's a parody of a Shoppies doll, a line also in the pilot episode version of it as well. A year after the episode's airing, Moose Toys, the creator of the Shoppies toyline, would announce themselves as the master license for the Bluey toyline.
  • "Ice Cream" ends with Bluey saying she doesn't want a valuable "lime lesson". Come the episode "Ragdoll", she actually does get a valuable lime lesson.
• It's Short, So It Sucks!: One of the main criticisms of Bluey: The Videogame is that you can beat the game's only four levels in just under three hours.
• Just Here for Godzilla: There are older viewers who watch the show just for the episodes with heavier themes or the ones that give more focus to the adults.
• Memetic Badass: While the entire Heeler household are these, to varying degrees, it's usually Bandit who's given this treatment more often than not, to due the sheer lengths he'll go to play with his kids, even at the risk of embarrassing himself in front of friends, neighbors and random strangers.
• Memetic Mutation: See here.
• Moe: Bluey and Bingo are absolutely adorable. Virtually all of the kindergartners are this, too.
• Most Wonderful Sound:
  • The little "Hi" Bluey and/or Bingo use in several episodes is just adorable.
  • The occasional "Ooh!" Bluey and/or Bingo utter.
  • The kids and even the adults when they say "Hooray!" It eventually became the show's signature catchphrase along with "For real life?"
    • Also when the kids say, "Yeah!" or "Oh, yeah!"
  • Chloe, Honey, Pretzel, and The Terriers' battle cry during their pretend war game from the episode, "Mums and Dads".
  • Bluey and Bingo's "Bort! Bort! Bort!" from "Mini Bluey".
  • Bluey's line, "You are going to pay, young man!" from the episode, "Chest".
  • The kids laughing. And they laugh a lot.
  • Bluey and Bingo's hilarious and over-the-top reaction to Bandit and Chilli's gross habits and their kiss at the end of "Smoochy Kiss".
  • Chili's "Whackadoo".
• Never Live It Down:
  • Some viewers haven't forgiven Judo for her rude behavior in "Butterflies" (notably, running away from Bingo and convincing Bluey to do the same). This is despite her never doing it again, apologizing at the end of the episode, and, you know, being six.
  • While most fans have let it go, there is a subset of viewers who use Bandit cheating in "Obstacle Course" as evidence that Bandit is a bad father. While it's definitely Bandit at his lowest, you could count the number of times Bandit acts like this on one hand, as the overwhelming majority of episodes show him as a model parent (to the point that Bandit won a father of the year award that real life people get).
• One True Threesome:
  • After "Cafe", a few fans were taken with the surprise chemistry between Bandit and Fido, especially the similar way they play with their kids. However, given that Bandit and Chilli are one of the more well known and well-loved modern examples of a Happily Married couple in animation, fics where Bandit cheats on and/or leaves Chilli are few and far between. Instead, Bandit usual enters into a polyamorous relationship with Fido, often with Chilli being the one to get them together.
    • This also tends to be the case with Bandit/Pat.
  • It's not unheard of for fans who like both Bluey/Mackenzie and Bluey/Jean-Luc to ship all three of them together as Bluey/Jean-Luc/Mackenzie.
• Opinion Myopia: The show's worldwide popularity led to a vocal minority getting irritated at its ubiquitousness, as they can't fathom the idea of anyone over the age of six liking a children's show. This extends to some people attacking the older fans. This sort of backlash is similar (but not to the same extent as) to the one experienced by My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic.
• Padding: Ironically, despite one of the major criticisms of Bluey: The Videogame being that it is too short, the levels all still feel very padded. All four levels have a handful of unnecessary cutscenes and tasks that involve fetching items a short distance away before you are allowed to continue.
• Periphery Demographic: Viewers of all ages have fallen in love with the show, due to it being both genuinely funny and relatable; many parents enjoy the show for its portrayal of adults as people with both strengths and flaws, rather than as either infallible or idiotic like in most children's shows. It helps that Australia's ratings are much looser than in the United States, allowing the show to portray things like Bandit drinking a beer with other adults at a family party or having a conversation (if extremely brief) with another dad about birth control. It's even popular among older viewers who don't even have kids, for various reasons such as enjoying the show's sense of humor or reminding them of their own childhoods.
• Popular with Furries: The show gained a following in the fandom almost overnight, with both American and Australian furries expressing their love for the series.
• Portmanteau Couple Name:
  • Bluey + Mackenzie = Blukenzie
  • Bingo + Lila = Lingo
  • Calypso + Brandy = Candy
• The Problem with Licensed Games: While it does have its fans, Bluey: The Videogame received poor reviews for being short^note It doesn't help that it was going to have more episodes, but those were cut during development., having a lot of glitches, and the questionably animated cutscenes. Many parents who bought the game for their children reported that they were frustrated with the game.
• Rescued from the Scrappy Heap: Whilst she wasn't universally despised, some viewers' opinions on Muffin were less than favourable due to her frequency of throwing temper tantrums and getting little to no consequence for doing so, especially in episodes such as "Charades" with some parent viewers concerned that her behaviour would encourage their children to act very similarly. Come the third season, however, and not only was Muffin's bratty nature toned down but she actually would get punished should she misbehave in episodes such as "Faceytalk". She even asks for her Granny persona to be toned down in "Granny Mobile" as she admits that she doesn't like playing the "Grouchy Granny".
• Sacred Cow: Bluey is considered one of, if not the best animated Preschool series in the world, for both kids and adults alike. Full-on criticism is rare and won't be taken lightly.
• Salvaged Story: The episode "Tina" faced criticism for more directly explaining its message of why you should listen to your elders instead of showing children the consequences. "Show And Tell" repeats the same message, but this time Bandit shows the girls the consequences of not listening to those who know better by ignoring his GPS in the car and then ending up completely lost as a result. This was seen as a vast improvement.
• Self-Fanservice: Given the simplistic art style, it's no surprise that all of the adults would be hit with this as soon as fan artists got a hold of them. This rings especially true for Bandit and Chilli.
• Ships That Pass in the Night: One of the more popular ships in the fandom is Calypso/Brandy or Candy. This is pretty impressive considering they have never spoken to or shared a scene with each other and there is a high chance Brandy doesn't even live in Brisbane.
• Ship-to-Ship Combat: Not quite as bad as other fandoms due to the show's natural feel-good nature, but the largest divide in the fandom is between those who ship future Bluey with her long-time best guy friend Mackenzie and those who ship her with Jean-Luc, the French-Canadian boy she knew for a few days when they were kids and reunited with as a teenager (there is also a third faction that pairs her with her neighbor Judo, but it is utterly dwarfed in size by the other two). The arguments only got more heat after "Surprise" showed Bluey has a child in the future, with both sides quickly claiming based on his/her/their design that their chosen boy was clearly the father despite the child clearly having been designed in way similar enough to both boys and Bluey's extended family that it could be either or even neither specifically to avoid this exact issue.
• Signature Scene:
  • In "Takeaway", when Bandit reads the fortune cookie's fortune about growing up. This is pretty much the moment everyone realized that Bluey as a series isn't just another preschool show but is actually incredibly deep at times and is relatable to adults too. There is a reason why the fortune is the quote at the top of the series' main page.
  • In "The Show", when the balloon representing the unborn Bluey pops during the titular show, causing Chilli to become distressed and Bandit to take her hand. This moment quickly became one of the series' most speculated and theorized about moments for years, with the most common theory being that Chilli experienced a miscarriage as some point. Then in 2023, after series creator Joe Brumm confirmed the miscarriage theory to be true^note although he didn't specify whether it was before Bluey, between Bluey and Bingo, or after Bingo, it instead became a signature scene for showing the show's willingness to tackle serious and even tragic subject matter despite being aimed at young children.
  • In "Onesies", when Bingo is playing with Aunt Brandy, then she runs off while Brandy stares as she does so with her arms outstretched toward her with a sad expression as Chilli tells Bluey there is something that Brandy wants something that just isn't meant to be. It has become one of if not the definitive examples of how absolutely emotional and heartbreaking the show can really be.
• Spiritual Successor:
  • Bluey was meant to be one to the British cartoon Peppa Pig (which its creator worked on for a time), intended as a replica of that program for an Australian audience (and depending on who you ask, not only succeeded at that but easily excelled past it). Both cartoons are about the funny Slice of Life adventures of a young animal girl and her family (with a younger sibling involved) and friends.
  • In a sense, it is also one to My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, as a cartoon that is aimed at younger children but became wildly and unexpectedly popular with audiences of all ages because of its clever writing, lovable characters and willingness to tackle sometimes-difficult subjects that other children's shows might not be willing to touch upon.
• Squick:
  • In 'The Weekend', when the family play the statue game, Bandit has to pause the game to use the restroom, and is seen sitting on the toilet... with Bingo and Bluey inside the bathroom with him and Bluey comments on the smell.
  • In 'Bike': Bingo, unable to reach the top of the water fountain before it automatically switches off, holds down the button until the fountain overflows. She then proceeds to drink from the puddle this creates (which Bluey calls "disgusting").
  • In 'Markets': When Bluey and Indy are saying their goodbyes to the Pony Lady and her horses (all of whom are dressed as unicorns), one of the horses takes a dump out of nowhere, causing the two pups to scream in horror and run away. For obvious reasons, this scene is edited out of the Disney+ version.
  • Bandit and Stripe's excessive sweating in 'Squash'. Which says a lot considering dogs in real life do not sweat like that.
  • In 'Swim School', Bluey (as "Margaret" the swim instructor), takes pool water into her mouth and sprays the rest of her family for the tiniest mistakes. When Chilli reveals Bandit has peed in the pool, Bluey (who's just taken in more water in anticipation for "punishment") is disgusted, immediately doing a Spit Take.
  • Invoked in "Smoochy Kiss" – Bandit does many "gross" things, which makes the girls want to protect Chilli from him. However, the Aesop is that everyone sometimes has gross habits and you have to accept the good with the bad. Chili also gets in on the action by mentioning she has sardines with her toast.
• Suspiciously Similar Song: The background music for 'Handstand' sounds a lot like Hot Butter's rendition of 'Popcorn'.
• Sweet Dreams Fuel: The whole show focuses primarily on the playfulness and imagination of Bluey, Bingo and their adventures with their family, with family bonding, getting along with others, and just having fun as major themes. It's a bundle of joy from start to finish.
• Tear Dryer:
  • In 'Butterflies', Bluey reluctantly leaves Bingo alone so she can hang out with Judo. She goes back to talk to Bingo and apologizes, but Bingo doesn't say a word. Bluey tears up and begins to sing the ladybug song that Bingo had early on. Bingo joins in and they sing it together, and this culminates in a hug between the two.
  • In 'Verandah Santa': Bluey gets some petty revenge on Socks for biting her (and not apologizing, despite Bandit pointing out that Socks doesn't know any better) by not leaving her any gifts when it's her turn to play Santa. Hurt, Socks runs outside and mopes by the lawn ornaments. Bandit and Chilli tell Bluey that being kind isn't just about getting Christmas gifts, it's just the right thing to do. As such, Bluey approaches Socks, explains why she did what she did, and apologizes. Socks licks the bitten hand apologetically and they hug.
• Toy Ship:
  • Bluey:
    • After the end of 'Camping' (in which Bluey and Jean-Luc meet again as teens), the show's Periphery Demographic has taken to shipping them.
    • Bluey is sometimes speculated to have a crush on Mackenzie, since she flies past his house in her dream in "Fruit Bat" and Winton teases the two about marrying each other in 'Barky Boats'.
    • Some fans interpret Judo's hostility to Bingo all the way back in 'Butterflies' as Judo having a crush on Bluey and being jealous of how close she is to Bingo. While not quite as popular of an option as Jean-Luc or Mackenzie, Judo is the go-to pick for fans who prefer Bluey swing the other way.
  • The ending of 'Early Baby' and most of 'Mums and Dads' make it easy to root for Indy and Rusty as a couple.
  • Likewise, a section of the fanbase see the way Rusty and Jack are so close and thinks they would be very cute together, especially since many LGBT fans are starved for representation of puppy love (pun intended) of that kind to counter the stigma.
  • 'Circus' seems to imply that Coco has a crush on Mackenzie as she desperately wants him to pretend to be her husband and she eagerly lays down next to him in the grass.
  • Alternatively for Coco, there is her close friend Snickers, who seems to be in nearly every scene with her. Notably, he quits playing Mums and Dads with Indy before they even start to play tag with Coco.
  • Mia and Captain, Bluey and Mackenzie's older school buddies (roughly 12-13 years old) in 'Barky Boats' (ironically an episode about actual toy ships) are sometimes shipped, since Captain seems to have a crush on Mia.
  • 'Daddy Dropoff' shows the day Bingo befriended Lila, her best friend. As explained in the episode, not only was Bingo Lila's first friend ever, but the two remain besties all the way through their high school graduation. Considering such a sweet and lifelong friendship (and again the desire for LGBT representation), it was only natural some would take to shipping the pair. "Pass the Parcel" and "Slide" only added more fuel to the fire.
• Unintentionally Sympathetic:
  • Coco in 'Shadowlands' (albeit a minor case). While Bluey is right to be frustrated at Coco's tendency to change the rules, especially considering she basically cheated at "What's The Time Ms. Wolf" at the start, she comes off as much more reasonable the three times she tries it in the titular game. The first and second time she tried to the Sinickers' benefit and then Bluey's respectively and on the third time (and arguably the second as well) they were stuck at a complete dead end and were only able to continue without changing the rules or quitting was due to sheer luck. While it's good that Coco learns the rules are what make games fun, perhaps the episode would have also benefited by showing that it is okay to change them when they become a detriment.
  • Bandit in 'The Quiet Game'. All he wants is a bit of peace and quiet, but Bluey and Bingo's loud games get in the way of it. He devises the classic Quiet Game ploy to get them to be quiet, but then gets roped into buying a toy for Muffin and has to bring the girls along with him. He gets increasingly frustrated as they refuse to stop playing in order to get the toy sooner.
  • Frank (Chloe's father) in 'Octopus' (in another minor case). Yes, he was arguably being a bit too literal minded when he and Chloe are planning the titular game (and the part where he twice goes along a path Chloe can't reach when she is the octopus boards on willful obtuseness at best). But on the other hand, during the part when they actually get started, Frank isn't doing anything different from Bandit when Chloe complains that he is making it too hard and then too easy. Considering that Octopus appears to be a three-person game, it seems like they were going to have problems no matter what Frank did.
• Viewer Gender Confusion:
  • Many people initially mistake Bluey and Bingo for boys thanks to their gender-neutral names, the fact that the show's child characters are voiced by very young children, and the lack of Tertiary Sexual Characteristics on most characters. Bluey is more often mistaken for a boy due to her blue fur and resemblance to her father. It also doesn't help that in 'Spy Game', Bandit is the one to go into the bathroom with Bingo. At the 2022 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, CBS used male pronouns for Bluey, but NBC (longtime primary broadcaster for the parade) got her gender right.
    • The same goes for their cousins Muffin and Socks, whose names and voices give very little indication as to whether or not they are male or female (though Muffin does show interest in typical "girly" things like ballerinas and wears a tiara in "Library").
  • On the flip side, Bluey's friend Mackenzie is sometimes mistaken for a girl due to his gender neutral name.
• Viewer Name Confusion: Depending on where you watch Bluey, the subtitles refer to Lucky's mum as either Janelle or Shanelle. The ending credits are no help because she is simply credited as "Lucky's Mum". According to the Instagram account of her voice actress, Anna Daniels, Lucky's mum is named Janelle.
• Viewer Species Confusion:
  • Some people think the titular character and her family are wolves, coyotes, or dingoes (not helped that Bingo's name rhymes with "dingo") or even a random dog breed like German Shepherds. They're actually Australian Cattle Dogs, the blue-colored variety being known colloquially in Australia as Blue Heelers (hence the Heeler family's last name).^HoweverThe Cattle Dog actually is descended from the Dingo and a cross with domestic dogs. This inconvenience extends to a handful of other characters as well. Until it has been confirmed in-show or by the creators, the breed of some characters that are of either vague or rarely seen breeds are often open for debate.
  • Frisky is a Cocker Spaniel, but she's sometimes mistaken for a Red Heeler, due to dating Radley, who is explicitly a Blue-and-Red Heeler and most couples in Bluey being the same breed.
