Main characters

Bluey Heeler

Bluey Christine Heeler is a Blue Heeler puppy who is the main protagonist and title character of the series. A six-year-old girl who turns seven over the series' course, Bluey has a sprawling imagination and is curious, friendly, nice, well-behaved and energetic. She enjoys having fun with her friends and family, particularly roleplaying and pretending that she is a grown-up.
Bluey has many peers, most of whom are from her class, but she has also befriended other kids her age, such as a Black Labrador named Jean-Luc. Her friends include Chloe, Indy, Coco, Rusty and Mackenzie, and she has a big buddy named Mia. One of her more well-known personalities is that of a grandmother named Janet, who is depicted as a kind yet forgetful granny. Bluey is depicted as a baby in "Baby Race", a teenager in "Camping", and as an adult in "Surprise!". In the latter, Bluey, whose adult voice is provided by Geraldine Hakewill, is the mother of an unnamed daughter. Bluey's middle name, Christine, is inspired by her nana, Chris.

Bingo Heeler

Bingo Heeler is a Red Heeler puppy who is younger sister of Bluey and the second protagonist of the series. Bingo, who is four years old, is sweet, cute, energetic, friendly, well-behaved, curious and playful, much like her sister, but is rather sensitive and shy. 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. Bingo shows an interest in bugs, taking breaks from the games she plays to observe them. 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. The episodes "Bingo", "Turtleboy", and "Slide" focus on her.

Bandit Heeler

Bandit Custard Heeler is a Blue Heeler who is 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 relationship with them in some episodes. He is voiced by David McCormack, the frontman of the Brisbane-based rock group Custard.

Chilli Heeler

Chilli Heeler is a Red Heeler who is 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. It is implied that Chilli has suffered a miscarriage in her past, and that her mum had died before the events of the series. She is voiced by Melanie Zanetti.

Extended Heeler and Cattle family

Muffin Heeler

Muffin Cupcake Heeler is a White Heeler who is the secondary protagonist of the series, who is Stripe and Trixie's daughter, Socks' older sister and one of Bluey and Bingo's cousins. Muffin, who is three-years-old, is a very energetic and loud child who can sometimes be selfish, bratty, and tantrum-prone, but is cute and 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.

Socks Heeler

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. 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. Later, she begins to utter full sentences, and is revealed to have been potty-trained.

Stripe Heeler

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 Bandit and Radley's younger brother. During a family trip, Stripe was bullied by Bandit, who eventually got jinxed by Radley in retaliation. Stripe is rather gentle, but is inexperienced when it comes to parenting. He shares a friendly sibling rivalry with his brother, Bandit. He is voiced by Dan Brumm, who also works on sound production for the series.

Trixie Heeler

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.

However, she can have arguments with Stripe about certain parenting decisions, but she can always find a middle ground. She is voiced by Myf Warhurst.

Radley Heeler

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. 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 fur. During his childhood, he stood up for Stripe and jinxed Bandit after he relentlessly teased his younger brother. He worked on an oil rig stationed in Western 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, who he eventually married. 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

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. Prior to meeting Radley, she had a boyfriend named Bosco. Frisky met Radley while babysitting Bluey and Bingo; they eventually develop a relationship, and get married in Bandit and Chilli's backyard soon after. She is voiced by Claudia O'Doherty.

Chris Heeler

Nana Christine Heeler is a Blue Heeler who 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. 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 1980s. She is voiced by Chris Brumm, who was the inspiration for the character.

Bob Heeler

Grandpa Bob Heeler is a White Heeler who 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"; Sam Simmons voiced a younger Bob in "Fairytale", and would go on to voice him from "The Sign" onwards.

She is voiced by Rose Byrne.

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