Lucky

Cadpig

  • Beware the Nice Ones: She speaks for world peace, but don't ever rile her.
  • The Chick: Cadpig is the most feminine of the main four.
  • Fourth Wall Observer: Cadpig frequently acknowledges the audience's presence via Lampshade Hanging and Aside Glances. One such instance has her comment about how Roger telling Lucky he's his favorite "almost makes you want to toss your kibble".
  • Granola Girl
  • Hey, It's That Voice!: In the TV series, Cadpig in the TV series is Lil
  • Hidden Depths: Generally calm and collected, Cadpig has a bit of an angry and dark side to work out (especially when it entails things like a desire to rule the world through manipulating the President's dog). Lampshaded in the first episode when a mugger steals Nanny's purse.
    Give back that purse, you BIG JERK! {She pauses and then, in a cute tone to us} Oh, I gotta work on my inner hostility.
  • Hypocritical Humor: The little pup often preaches world peace and conflict resolution through nonviolent means, and often afterwards will threaten bodily harm towards anyone who upsets her or her family.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Though to a much lesser degree than Lucky, she could be a Jerkass at times. Like when she psyches out the other competitors at a Kanine Krunchies audition via backhanded comments about their acts. Or repeatedly insults Rolly's desire to become Chief Firedog by pointing out that she's imagining him as the "hopeless dreamer" he is.
  • Kawaiiko
  • Little Miss Snarker
  • Meaningful Name: Her name came from a term used in England for a runt in a litter of pigs. This isn't explained in the TV show.
  • Nightmare Face: Cadpig has one of the most expressive faces out of the cast, so these were inevitable. Her most notable one featured bloodshot eyes and a Slasher Smile of shark-like teeth.
  • Nightmare Fuel Station Attendant: Cadpig can be quite creepy at times when her darker side comes to the surface. Such as how she expressed a disturbing delight in using Valentine's Day as an excuse to guilt trip and psyche out people.
    Spot: [quietly, to Rolly] She scares me sometimes.
    Rolly: [He scoffs.] Only sometimes?
  • Stop Helping Me!: Cadpig has her heart in the right place, but her frequent attempts to help people usually only make things worse due to her refusal to listen to anyone questioning her methods. Two particular examples include where she tried to free a pet lobster and incited a feud between two cows that escalated into a farm-wide conflict when she came in to "help" just as said cows were settling their differences.

Rolly

  • Berserk Button: Don't mess with food in front of him in the animated series, or call him fat.
  • Big Eater
  • Catch Phrase: "I'm Hungry, mother" in the movies, and "Oh, papa!" and "Are you calling me fat?" in the TV series.
  • Comically Missing the Point: Is prone to this when food's involved
    Lt. Pug: Nobody's ever seen [Lockjaw]. But I've heard him, stomping through the night, looking for his favorite dish. Chicken Veronica with a bed of marinated puppies!
    Rolly: Is that served with a white sauce?
    Lucky: Rolly!
  • Deadpan Snarker
  • Flanderization: In the books, he was only pudgy and not a big eater. In the movies, he becomes a big eater, and in the TV series, he's pretty much OBSESSED with food.
    Lucky: That's not fair! Whatever happened to justice? Whatever happened to honor?
    Rolly: [thinking] Whatever happened to that little piece of fat you get in pork and beans?
  • Hey, It's That Voice!: And naturally, Rolly in the TV series is Phil
  • The Lancer: In the episode "Dog's Best Friend" Lucky calls him his best friend.
    • A bit redundant considering they're brothers, that. Even so, it's their bond and the personality contrast that makes him qualify for this trope.
  • The Load: At times, his inability to resist the scent and/or presence of food will make things much harder for the pups.
  • Stout Strength: Rolly is a chubby pup, but he is also one of the strongest.

Patch

  • Ascended Extra: In the 2003 direct-to-video sequel of the 1961 animated movie
  • The Big Guy: In the books and the TV series, where he's more muscular than the other puppies.
  • What Could Have Been: In the TV series, he was originally going to be one of the main puppies, but was demoted to extra due to Disney's fear of having too many major characters.

Penny

Freckles

  • The Cameo: He never appeared in the TV series as a minor pup, however he made a very brief cameo in "You Say it's Your Birthday"
  • Meaningful Name: He has a few tiny spots sprinkled around his nose, like freckles.

Whizzer

Dipstick

  • Ascended Extra: In 102 Dalmatians, where he's the father of the next generation of puppies.
  • Canon Immigrant: He was introduced in the 1996 live-action movie and was later added to the TV series.
  • The Ditz: In the TV series
  • Those Two Guys: With Whizzer in the TV series

Two-Tone

Tripod

Spot

  • Butt Monkey: Spot is usually the one who gets roughed up the most throughout their misadventures and often has the most grueling jobs. Not to mention how various creatures constantly attempt to eat her.
  • Canon Foreigner: She was created for the TV series.
  • Does This Remind You of Anything?: One Spot-centric episode centers around her desire to be a dog as opposed to a chicken. This greatly offends her mother who tries to force Spot to engage in typical chicken activities like egg-sitting.
  • Feather Fingers
  • Metaphorgotten: As Pullet Marlow, Spot attempts to make clever metaphors of the situation, but often fails at it. To quote Cadpig, she's "metaphorically challenged".
  • Private Eye Monologue: Spot naturally adopts this practice when she dons her private investigator persona Pullet Marlow. This is lampshaded in "K for Kibble" when Swamp Rat questions part of it and Spot comments it's intended to be an inner monologue.
  • Tara Strong
  • True Art Is Incomprehensible: "The Artist Formerly Known as Spot" centers around Spot creating what are seen as "masterpieces" by Cruella's art appreciator when it's really just her brushing her feathers in random patterns. True to the trope, every attendee of the gallery devoted to Spot's pieces comment at great length about the artistic styles at work. invoked
  • With Friends Like These: At times, Spot is treated as the Butt Monkey even among the three pups. But it is made clear that they will go to great lengths to help her, and she'd return the favor.

Cruella de Vil

"Poison them, drown them, bash them in the head... I don't care how you kill the little beasts, but do it, and do it now!"
Voiced by: Betty Lou Gerson (101 Dalmatians); April Winchell (101 Dalmatians: The Series); Susanne Blakeslee (since 1999)

Scorch

Mooch

Lieutenant Pug

  • A Day in the Limelight: In the episode "Walk a Mile in My Tracks".
  • Canon Foreigner: He only appears in the series.
  • Gonk: Among the dogs
  • Jerkass
  • The Napoleon: Spectacularly demonstrated in the episode "Full Metal Pullet" when he repeatedly smacks his head against a stump and gets mad at Sergeant Tibs for helping him get atop it.
  • The Neidermeyer: While the Bark Brigade isn't an official military group, he fits the role quite well given the (completely justified) contempt he receives from his "cadets".
  • Shell-Shocked Veteran: He'll flip out over crazy ideas and is constantly paranoid of cats making their move.
