Main PAW Patrol pups

  • Chase – German Shepherd police dog, reflecting the breed’s reputation for intelligence and bravery.
  • Marshall – Dalmatian fire dog, matching the classic association between Dalmatians and fire stations.

  • Rubble – English Bulldog, shown as strong, stocky, and tough but gentle at heart on construction jobs.
  • Zuma – Labrador Retriever (often described as a Chocolate Lab), fitting his love of water and rescue work.
  • Rocky – Mixed-breed terrier-type dog, usually described as a mixed-breed or terrier mix to underline that not all heroes are purebred.
  • Everest – Siberian Husky, matching her snow-rescue role and classic husky look with thick fur and sled-dog energy.
  • Tracker – Commonly described as a Chihuahua (sometimes suggested as a “potcake” mix), which fits his big ears and jungle-pup role.

Newer and recurring pups

Mini FAQ style “Quick Scoop”

  • The only clearly mixed-breed in the original core team is Rocky ; the rest are modeled on well-known purebreds or designer mixes like the Cockapoo.
  • These breed choices are intentional: German Shepherd for policing, Dalmatian for firefighting, Husky for snow, Labrador for water, etc., so kids can link each job to a real-life dog type.
