Each pup has a role that’s perfectly tailored and surprising.

It’s no accident the creators of Paw Patrol chose these exact breeds for their furry heroes. Each pup isn’t just adorable — their personality seems lifted straight from their real-life breed traits. And in every episode, that either helps them save the day or adds a bit of cheeky chaos. Let’s break down who’s who and how their “breed instincts” play out in their adventures.

Chase — German Shepherd

Chase is a proper leader, disciplined and always on alert, just like a true German Shepherd. He organises the team, barks out orders through his megaphone, and keeps Adventure Bay safe. In the episode where the pups rescue a bat family (Pups Save a Bat Family), Chase runs the whole operation with police-like precision.

Marshall — Dalmatian

Marshall is pure fun and gentle clumsiness, which fits a Dalmatian perfectly. He’s always keen to help, even if he tends to trip or spill things — but when it really counts, he’s spot on. In Pups Save Jake’s Cake, he makes a mess with the icing but then expertly puts out a little blaze.

Rocky — Mixed Breed

Rocky’s your classic resourceful mutt, forever inventing clever fixes from bits and bobs. His knack for recycling has saved the town more than once — like when he cobbled together a trap for an octopus out of scrap in Pups Save a Mer-Pup. Nothing goes to waste with Rocky, not even old lamp posts.

Zuma — Labrador Retriever

Zuma is every inch a Lab: playful, water-loving, and always up for a splash. He’s the first to dive into rivers or the sea, turning water rescues into pure joy. Remember Pups Save a Walrus? Zuma happily swims alongside Winston the walrus, totally in his element.

Skye — Cocker Spaniel

Skye’s a cocker through and through — bubbly, curious, and thrilled by anything that gets her off the ground. Her eyes light up whenever she’s flying her helicopter. In Pups Save a Hoot, she soars alongside a little owl, absolutely loving every minute of it.

Rubble — English Bulldog

Rubble can be grumbly and stubborn, but he’s rock-solid. When it comes to digging or building, he’s your pup, even if he does moan about the muck. In Pups Get a Rubble, he complains at first but then gets properly stuck in, enjoying the work more than he’ll admit.

Everest — Siberian Husky

Everest lives for the snow — well, she is a husky. She whizzes over ice on her snowmobile and leaps into blizzards without a second thought. In the cake delivery episode, she expertly navigates snowy drifts to make sure Jake’s party goes off without a hitch.

Tracker — Chihuahua

Tracker may be tiny, but he’s as brave as they come, typical of a Chihuahua. His sharp hearing picks up the slightest jungle sounds. In Tracker Joins the Pups, he’s the first to spot where the jaguar’s hiding, proving that small definitely doesn’t mean timid.
