Bingo, who is four-years-old (later turning five[42]), is energetic, curious and playful, much like her sister, but is rather sensitive. Her favourite toy is a stuffed rabbit named Floppy. Bingo is depicted as a kindergarten student, and has made numerous friends there including a Maltese dog named Lila, who she deems her best friend.[43] Bingo shows an interest in bugs, taking breaks from the games she plays to observe them.[44][45] One of her more well-known personalities is that of a grandmother named Rita, who is depicted as a mischievous granny who is hard of hearing.[10] The episodes "Bingo", "Turtleboy", and "Slide" focus on her.

Bandit Heeler

edit
Main article: Bandit Heeler

Bandit Custard Heeler[46] is a Blue Heeler, the husband of Chilli, and the father of Bluey and Bingo, whom he enjoys playing with. He takes any role he plays in a game they devise seriously despite often being seen as reluctant and unwilling to partake in their games. He often teaches life lessons to his daughters while he plays with them, but this strains his public relationship with them in some episodes. He is voiced by David McCormack.

Chilli Heeler (née Cattle)[c] is a Red Heeler, the mother of Bluey and Bingo, and the wife of Bandit. While she fully partakes in her daughters' games, Chilli is much more level-headed and acts as a balance to the chaos. However, she can join in with the chaos when she sees fit. When not playing games, Chilli is depicted as a caring and comforting mother who wants the best for her daughters. While raising Bluey, Chilli, seeing Wendy's daughter Judo being the first to get sit up by herself, initially set herself the goal to get Bluey to walk before Judo could, but she failed, causing her to believe that she was a bad mother. However, she was told by Coco's mum, Bella, that she was doing good nonetheless. Ultimately, Bluey learned to walk when trying to hug Chilli.[39] It is implied that Chilli has suffered a miscarriage in her past,[47] and that her mum had died before the events of the series.[16] She is voiced by Melanie Zanetti.[5]

Extended Heeler and Cattle family

edit

Muffin Heeler

edit

Muffin Cupcake Heeler[48] is a White Heeler[49] who is Stripe and Trixie's daughter, Socks' older sister and one of Bluey and Bingo's cousins. Muffin, who is three-years-old (later four[36]), is a very energetic and loud child who can sometimes be selfish and bratty, but has a good heart deep down. She is known to have a protracted phonological development where she struggles to pronounce the "L" and "R" sounds (e.g. "It was a vewociwaptor"[50]).

Socks Heeler

edit

Socks Heeler is a Blue Heeler who is Stripe and Trixie's daughter, Muffin's younger sister and one of Bluey and Bingo's cousins. She is the youngest child in the Heeler family, being only one year old (later two). In earlier episodes, she barks and walks on all fours, much like a real-world puppy would, but later learns to walk and talk like the rest of her family.[8] Later, she begins to utter full sentences.[32]

Stripe Heeler

edit

Stripe Heeler is a Blue Heeler who is the husband of Trixie, father of Muffin and Socks, one of Bluey and Bingo's uncles and is Bandit and Radley's younger brother.[12] Stripe is rather gentle, but is inexperienced when it comes to parenting. He shares a friendly sibling rivalry with his brother, Bandit.[51] He is voiced by Dan Brumm, who also works on sound production for the series.

Trixie Heeler

edit

Trixie Heeler is a White Heeler who is the wife of Stripe, mother of Muffin and Socks, and one of Bluey and Bingo's aunts. Trixie is caring, energetic and level-headed, particularly when it comes to parenting, and she loves spending time with her family. However, she can have arguments with Stripe about certain parenting decisions, but she can always find a middle ground.[48] She is voiced by Myf Warhurst.[7]

Radley Heeler

edit

Radley Heeler is a Red/Blue Heeler mix who is the uncle of Bluey, Bingo, Muffin and Socks and is the older brother of Bandit and Stripe.[12] Radley looks out for his family and is laid-back, but has an occasional tendency to zone out; such an instance of this is him mistakenly calling Bluey a boy because of her blue colouring.[52] He worked on an oil rig in the west of Australia and because of this, he was not able to visit his family often as he would have liked to. Radley later developed a relationship with Bluey's godmother, Frisky,[8] who he eventually married.[32] After learning that Frisky did not want to move west with him after their wedding, Radley decided to quit his job, moving to the city and getting a job there in order to remain close to his family. He is voiced by Patrick Brammall.

Frisky Heeler

edit

Frisky Heeler is an English Cocker Spaniel who is Bluey's godmother, as well as Radley's wife and thus aunt to the Heeler cousins. She is one of Chilli's friends, and the two would frequent Mount Coot-Tha as teenagers.[32] Prior to meeting Radley, she had a boyfriend named Bosco. Frisky met Radley while babysitting Bluey and Bingo,[52] they eventually develop a relationship[8] and getting married in Bandit and Chilli's backyard soon after.[32] She is voiced by Claudia O'Doherty.

Chris Heeler

edit

Nana Christine "Chris" Heeler is a Blue Heeler. She is Bob's wife, Bandit, Stripe and Radley's mother, and Bluey, Bingo, Muffin and Socks' paternal grandmother. When her granddaughters visit her house at the Gold Coast, she allows them to get what they want. In "Grannies", she and her husband Bob learn how to floss.[10] In "Fairytale", she is depicted as a kind-hearted yet strict and harsh mother to Bandit, Stripe and Radley. Bandit says that the reason for her harshness was because mums "were allowed to be mean" in the 80's.[12] She is voiced by Chris Brumm, who was the inspiration for the character.[6]

Bob Heeler

edit

Grandpa Bob Heeler is a White Heeler. He is Chris's husband, Bandit, Stripe and Radley's father, and Bluey, Bingo, Muffin and Socks' paternal grandfather. In the episode "Grannies" he learned to floss alongside his wife. Sometime after this, Bob traveled to India to "find himself," resulting in a long absence that went unexplained until "The Sign", where it was then revealed. He is voiced by Ian McFadyen in "Grannies";[10] Sam Simmons voiced a younger Bob in "Fairytale", and would go on to voice him from "The Sign" onwards.[11][12][53]

Mort Cattle

edit

Grandad Mort Cattle is a Red Heeler. He is Chilli and Brandy's father and Bluey and Bingo's maternal grandfather. Prior to retirement, he served in the Army.[54] He is voiced by Laurie Newman.

Prior to her appearance in "Onesies", she and Chilli were separated for four years.[55] It is implied in "Onesies" that Brandy faced fertility issues,[56][15] but by "The Sign", she has become pregnant.[32] She is voiced by Rose Byrne.

Chilli's Mum

edit

Chilli's Mum was a Red Heeler. She was Mort's wife, Brandy and Chilli's mother, and Bluey and Bingo's maternal grandmother.

She is voiced by Kate Miller-Heidke.[16][57]

Neighbours

edit

Pat

edit

He barracks for the Maroons along with the Heeler family and his two sons, Lucky and Chucky.[58] He is voiced by Brad Elliot.

Janelle

edit

Janelle is a Labrador Retriever, one of the Heelers' next-door neighbours, the wife of Pat and the mother of Lucky and Chucky.[36] While she does not involve herself with her neighbours' games, unlike the rest of her family, she is generally kind-hearted and wants the best for her sons. She has a good eye for planning birthday parties and keeps up with modern trends, preferring to stick with a modern version of pass the parcel while Pat suggested putting only one present in the middle (as was the case during his time), which would be met with a strong reaction at Chucky's birthday party before the kids and parents slowly began to accept it.[36] She is the only member of her family to barrack for the New South Wales Blues, having moved from the region, so she watches their games alone. However, she joins the rest of her family in barracking for the Gold team.[58] She is voiced by Anna Daniels.

Lucky

edit

Lucky is a Labrador Retriever, one of the Heelers' next-door neighbours, and the eldest son of Pat and Janelle.[36] He is depicted as an energetic kid who loves sports. While not explicitly attending Glasshouse Primary School, Lucky has numerous friends from there. He, his father and his brother Chucky support the Maroons.[58]

Chucky

edit

Chucky is a Labrador Retriever, one of the Heelers' next-door neighbours, and the youngest son of Pat and Janelle.[36] Much like his brother Lucky, he is playful and kind; however, Chucky is also sensitive. While not generally as sporty as his brother, Chucky likes watching football and is starting to show an interest in the sport. However, during the third game of a State of Origin series, Chucky has to choose between supporting the Maroons and the Blues, the team his mum Janelle barracks for. He ultimately barracks for the Maroons with the rest of his family.[58]

Wendy

edit

Wendy is a Chow Chow and the mother of Judo. Wendy is a sophisticated woman who initially appears to be above the Heelers' games, but later joins in on them herself.[17] She has done ten years of pilates, which allows her to lift people heavier than she is.[59] She is also kind towards her peers, having made the Heelers five lasagnas after Bluey was born.[54] She is currently voiced by Emily Taheny, having been voiced previously by Beth Durack.[17]

Judo

edit

Judo is a Chow Chow who is one of Bluey and Bingo's friends and neighbours; Bluey has known her since she was a baby.[39] Being a Chow Chow, she tends to become attached to some people, such as Bluey, Bingo and Pom Pom, and her hair is very hard to clean.[17] Judo also tended to be bossy and domineering,[60] but in later episodes is receptive to cooperating when playing with Bluey and Bingo,[17] eventually becoming closer friends to the two.[32] It is implied that she is a child of divorce, due to her absence in most episodes that only feature Wendy.

Doreen

edit

Doreen is an elderly Great Pyrenees who is one of the Heelers' neighbours. She is very sweet and nice. She is voiced by Kelly Butler.

Bluey's classmates

edit

Mackenzie Border Collie

edit

Mackenzie Border Collie[h] is a Border Collie who is one of Bluey, Jack and Rusty's close friends. Having moved to Australia from New Zealand, he has a big heart, but prefers to get to the point when playing games. Being a Border Collie, Mackenzie is adept at herding and jumping on sheep.[61][62] He has a big buddy named Captain,[38] and his family roots for the Kiwis, much to his confusion.[58] As a small puppy, Mackenzie was traumatised after being separated from his mum and thinking she had left him behind, but eventually came to terms with this.[63] Bluey creator Joe Brumm cites Dog from New Zealand comic Footrot Flats, also a Border Collie, as an inspiration for Mackenzie's design.[64]

Rusty

edit

Rusty is an Australian Kelpie who is one of Bluey's close friends and the best friend of Jack Russell. Rusty is depicted as an adventurous, friendly and tenacious boy who puts his friends and family above himself, but can sometimes be a bit stubborn.[65] Aside from Jack, his best friend, Rusty's close friends include Bluey, Indy and Mackenzie. Rusty is quite sporty, and he aspires to play for the Australian national test cricket team when he grows up, which he ends up doing as an adult. He has two siblings, Digger, his kind and caring older brother, and Dusty, his energetic little sister,[66] and his father is in the army.[67] During early development of Bluey, Rusty was the main character; Joe Brumm would switch the series' focus to Bluey.[68] This may be why Rusty and Bluey look very similar.

Chloe

edit

Chloe is a Dalmatian who is Bluey's best friend. She is very sweet, smart, nice, and energetic. She has a baby brother. She enjoys playing with Bluey and Bandit, so much that she brings some of their game ideas back home to play with her dad Frank; who is hesitant to play due to finding it too "silly," but eventually warms up to it after they find their own way to play them.[69]

Honey

edit

Honey is a Beagle who is one of Bluey's friends. Much like her parents, she wears round-rimmed glasses. Honey is caring and assertive towards others, but sometimes has trouble keeping up with Bluey's games. Her parents are British, but Honey speaks with an Australian accent.

Coco

edit

Coco is a Poodle who is one of Bluey's friends, having known her since they were babies.[39] While sweet and good-natured, Coco can sometimes come off as controlling and impatient.[27] She has eight other siblings.[39]

Snickers

edit

Snickers is a Dachshund who is one of Bluey's friends, having known her since they were babies.[39] While fun-loving and friendly, Snickers is aware of his skinny build and short limbs, which he considers a double-edged sword.[70] Snickers seems to particularly enjoy pretending to be a news reporter.

Indy

edit

Indy is an Afghan Hound who is one of Bluey's friends. She is creative and playful. She has a regimented diet, leaving her unable to eat wheat, gluten, sugar, salt, dairy and food with any added ingredients.[71]

Jack Russell

edit

Jack Russell is a Jack Russell Terrier who is Rusty's best friend and the new kid at Glasshouse Primary School. He is very nice and friendly and loves to play with his friends, which include Rusty, Bluey and Mackenzie.[67] He is shown to have ADHD; he states that he "can't sit still or can't remember anything".[25] He has a little sister named Lulu.

Winton

edit

Winton is an English Bulldog who is one of Bluey's friends. He has shown difficulty in respecting personal space, but has gotten better with it over time. His parents are divorced, but his father is in a new relationship with the Terriers' mum.[32]

The Terriers

edit

The Terriers are triplet Miniature Schnauzer brothers. They commonly roleplay as Roman soldiers. Their mum was a single parent, but she is currently in a new relationship with Winton's father, Cornelius.[32]

Pretzel

edit

Pretzel is a Chihuahua in Bluey's class. Initially depicted as shy to play with his friends, implying that he may have autism. He eventually becomes open to playing with them after seeing his classmates work together. He has a pet guinea pig that ran away, and is implied to have two mothers, making him and his family the first LGBTQ characters in the show.[32][72]

Bingo's classmates

edit

Lila

edit

Lila is a Maltese who is Bingo's best friend. She was initially depicted as shy and apprehensive, but came out of her shell after meeting Bingo. The two become best friends, and a flash-forward in the episode "Daddy Dropoff" shows them remaining friends throughout their future school years.[73] Like Bingo, Lila has an affinity for bugs, saving a caterpillar that would become a butterfly[45] that Bingo named "Flappy".[32]

Missy

edit

Missy is an Australian Terrier and one of Bluey and Bingo's friends. She is in Mrs. Retriever's kindy class.[22] She was depicted as scared while playing high-intensity games, but is learning to come out of her shell and become a braver person.[74] She is implied to have been adopted, due to her mother being a German Spitz and no father appearing in the show.[75]

Buddy

edit

Buddy is a Pug and is good friends with Bingo and the rest of the kids in Mrs Retriever's kindy class. Buddy is a loud breather and is often seen picking his nose, falling asleep at the top of the slide, or staring into space at nothing at all.[61]

Bentley

edit

Bentley is a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel who is small but determined, and after many tries, makes it onto the monkey bars. She has a twin sister named Zara.

Classmates' siblings

edit

Lulu Russell

edit

Lulu Russell is a Jack Russell Terrier who is Jack's younger sister.[67] A young girl who is curious about the world around her, she also has a mischievous streak, being blunt and sassy towards certain people, like her older brother Jack. Her perceived sassiness stems from her tendencies to repeat anything incriminating that other people says.

Dusty

edit

Dusty is an Australian Kelpie and Rusty's younger sister. An energetic little girl, she likes cricket and playing it with her family. She gets excited when Rusty bats her a catch.[66]

Digger

Other kids

edit

Winnie

edit

Winnie is a Chocolate Labrador who befriends Bluey upon her entrance into the same playground, where they played a game of Café with their dads serving as the customers.[76] Over the course of the subsequent mornings, Winnie, Bluey and their fathers are drawn closer and closer to each other as they play the same game.[76] Bandit later invites Fido and Winnie to show up for breakfast.[76]

Jean-Luc

edit

Jean-Luc is a Black Labrador from Canada who becomes good friends with Bluey when they meet on a camping trip. He speaks French, which Bluey is unable to understand, but is able to communicate through play. Bluey is heartbroken after Jean-Luc leaves for home, but Chilli tells her she may eventually see him again. A flash-forward by the end of the episode proves this right, with Jean-Luc, who is now able to speak English, reuniting with Bluey.[40]

Captain and Mia

edit

Captain, an American Foxhound, and Mia, an English Setter, who are the preteen-aged big buddies of Mackenzie and Bluey respectively. There is an implied attraction between the two of them, in spite of their buddies' friendly rivalry, which eventually leads them to have a conversation about starting high school.[38] The two are seen attending a school fair together,[18] and they are known to be friends with Rusty's older brother Digger.[66]

Pom Pom

edit

Pom Pom is a Pomeranian and one of Bluey and Bingo's friends. While the smallest out of Bluey and Bingo's friends, Pom Pom does not let that bring her down.[77]

Fido

edit

Fido is a Chocolate Labrador who befriends Bandit on a playground; the two are drawn by their respective daughters, Winnie and Bluey, to serve as customers in their game of Café.[76] The two fathers bond over many similar traits, such as an inclination to disrupt their daughters' games for their amusement and that of their offspring.[76] He is voiced by Eliot Fish.

Cornelius

edit

Cornelius is an English Bulldog and Winton's father. He and his wife are recently divorced, which, according to Winton, has made him "lonely all the time." With both of their children's encouragement, he begins a relationship with the Terriers' mum, seemingly moving in with her.[32] He is voiced by Jake Bresanello.
