Line #107 Trivia/PAWPatrol


1	* ActingForTwo:
2	** Cap'n Turbot, Mayor Humdinger and Farmer Al are all voiced by Creator/RonPardo.
3	** British English dub:
4	*** Cap'n Turbot and his cousin Francois are both voiced by Andy Turvey.
5	*** Mayor Goodway, Farmer Yumi, and Ms. Majorie are all voiced by Niki Felstead.
6	** Hebrew dub:
7	*** Skye and Katie are both voiced by Creator/AlonaAlexander.
8	*** Mayor Goodway and Farmer Yumi are both voiced by Creator/HadarShachafMaayan.
9	* AdoredByTheNetwork:
10	** Nickelodeon loves promoting and airing, to the point where it airs more times a week than ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants''. Alongside ''[=SpongeBob=]'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'', it is considered one of the network's "Big Three". This treatment has been going on since Labor Day 2013, when the show was a month old.
11	*** This was taken up to eleven when the Nick Jr. block showed nothing '''''but''''' this show during Summer 2019, save for one episode of another show (usually ''WesternAnimation/BlazeAndTheMonsterMachines'') filling in the last half hour or so.
12	*** In 2021, a visit to [[https://www.spinmaster.com/ Spin Master's website]] is greeted with a "Welcome to Spin Master" banner... and a picture of the pups, so it seems Spin Master's decided the pups are their unofficial mascots now.
13	*** In February 2021, the show was announced for a ninth season, making it the first Nick Jr. show to exceed its eighth season, making ''PAW Patrol'' to become the longest Nick Jr. show ever, surpassing ''WesternAnimation/DoraTheExplorer''. This is further cemented with a 10th season announced in March 2022, potentially making the show the third longest running show on Nick Jr. after ''WesternAnimation/BluesClues'' and ''Dora''.
14	*** In March 2021, Nick Jr. ran '''''seven straight hours''''' on Saturdays to promote a preview of the upcoming movie on the {{UsefulNotes/Kids Choice Award}}s that occured the same month, something not even ''[=SpongeBob=]'' did in a single day.
15	*** On July 4, 2021, a five-hour marathon, consisting of only Mighty Pups episodes and the mini movie, ran on Nick Jr. Various shorts aired during commercial breaks, such as one on diggers with clips of Rubble in between, and a quiz about Skye.
16	** Beginning in fall 2023, a good majority of Nick Jr's schedule was this show, and it and [[WesternAnimation/RubbleAndCrew its spin-off]] air for at least 12 hours a day, with only the occasional break for ''WesternAnimation/PeppaPig'' and ''WesternAnimation/BubbleGuppies'', the latter of which is only shown in early-morning graveyard slots, breaking up the big chunks of this show.
17	* BillingDisplacement: Ryder has the least amount of focus of the PAW Patrol (not counting {{Sixth Ranger}}s like Everest, Tracker, Tuck or Ella), but has top billing in the theme song.
18	--> "Whenever there's a problem round Adventure Bay, ''Ryder'' and his team of pups will come and save the day!"
19	* BabyNameTrendStarter: Chase and Skylar (often shortened to Skye) became popular baby names in 2016 due to the show's most popular characters having those names. Another name the show helped raise the popularity of was Rocky, which wasn't even in the top 1000 baby names the decade before, but re-entered the list when the show debuted.
20	* {{Blooper}}: In "Sea Patrol: Pups Save a Pier", there are several instances where Ryder has his normal hairdo rather than the ExpositoryHairstyleChange he normally has in specialty episodes.
21	* BreakingNewsInterruption: On March 14, 2018, Nickelodeon, as well as most Viacom networks, interrupted a re-run of "Pups Save a Baby Humdinger/Pups Save a Piñata" to go off-air in support of the National Walk-Out that day. [[https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/nation-now/2018/03/14/nickelodeon-went-off-air-17-minutes-national-walkout/424430002/ Parents were not too pleased]], which led to a controversy on Website/{{Twitter}}.
22	* CashCowFranchise: Being that the show was created by Spin Master, it quickly became this. In 2016, it was the top-selling character license based on a television show. As of 2023, the franchise has grossed over '''$10 billion'''.
23	* ChildrenVoicingChildren: All the pups and all the child characters (with the exceptions of Ace and Danny) are voiced by children. Averted in foreign dubs.
24	** Ryder had four voice actors, Chase, Marshall and Zuma had three voice actors and Rocky had two voice actors.
25	** Skye and Rubble kept their original voices (Kallan Holley and Devan Cohen) throughout the first five seasons. In Season 6, they received new voices by their new voice actors (Lilly Bartlam and Keegan Hedley).
26	* ContentLeak:
27	** Rex was revealed via an [=eBay=] listing from China selling a toy based on him.
28	** The designs for the film adaptation were leaked via a pre-order for lunchboxes.
29	* CreditsPushback: All Nickelodeon airings of "The New Pup" [[https://youtube.com/watch?v=qRPVqp_2hJE have a bizarre example of this]]. The Nickelodeon split-screen credits template, alongside a video of [[WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick]] looking confused, plays in conjunction with Nickelodeon's normal "bottom of screen" credits, making this episode the only program as of 2020 to use the old split-screen credits.
30	* CrossDressingVoices:
31	** Possibly to avoid VocalEvolution, all the child male characters (Ryder included) are voiced by females in the Japanese dub.
32	** In Spanish (both Latin American and European), French, Italian, and Polish, the pups are all voiced by women, while Ryder is voiced by a male actor.
33	** Speaking of the Latin American Spanish dub, Ryder is voiced by an adult male voice actor (Rene Pinochet), whose voice was very notorious for years for sounding incredibly childish, as he was born prematurely, causing his vocal cords not to develop at all and sounding like a kid until he reached his 40s, when his voice suddenly began to sound more mature without warning, this was after when dubbing of Season 1 was finished and when dubbing of Season 2 began.
34	* TheDanza:
35	** Kingsley Marshall as Marshall.
36	** Of a sort: Creator/DanielDeSanto as Danny.
37	* DawsonCasting:
38	** Ace and Danny are voiced by adults.
39	** In stage productions, Ryder is always played by an adult despite being 10 years old in the series.
40	** Likewise, the pups are supposed to be 5 to 7 years old, however their voice actors range from 11 to 15.
41	* DiedDuringProduction: Ted Bastien, director of the show, died of cancer while the tenth season was being produced.
42	* DisabledCharacterDisabledActor: Zuma's first voice actor, Emily Thorne, had [[ElmuhFuddSyndwome rhotacism (a speech impediment where she couldn't pronounce her R's properly)]]. This helped her land the role because that, coupled with her more high-pitched voice, made Zuma sound younger than he really is.
43	* DistancedFromCurrentEvents:
44	** Being that one of the canine protagonists is Chase, who is a police officer pup, the show suffered from a nasty case of this in wake of the death of George Floyd at the hands of police officers:
45	*** In remembrance of Floyd's death, the show's social media accounts decided to go dark for what was intended to be a five-day hiatus. However, many people complained about the post because of Chase, causing the accounts to temporarily go on hiatus.
46	*** The Nick Jr. website had Chase as their icon for ''PAW Patrol''. On June 17, 2020, it was changed to Marshall.
47	*** Two "Ultimate Rescue" episodes ("Pups Save the Royal Kitties" and "Pups Stop a Meltdown; Pups and the Mystery of the Missing Cellphones") were pulled from rotation because in these episodes, the other pups become police officers like Chase.
48	*** Finally, on some streaming providers, [[https://www.lawofficer.com/paw-patrol-remains-on-air-but-chase-removed-from-some-previews/ Chase was removed from promo art]].
49	*** An example excluding Chase, but for the same reason many of these Chase-related things were changed, was when Mayor Goodway's voice was changed from Deann Degruijter to Creator/KimRoberts in order for her voice actress to match her race, a similar method that was employed by shows such as ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'', ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'', ''WesternAnimation/CentralPark'', ''WesternAnimation/BigMouth'' and ''WesternAnimation/DanielTigersNeighborhood''.
50	** "Pups Save a Sniffle" was temporarily pulled from Nick's line-up in wake of the COVID-19 pandemic because it dealt with most of the pups coming down with an illness. However, Nickelodeon [[https://nickstory.fandom.com/wiki/June_10,_2020 accidentally aired the episode]] [[https://nickstory.fandom.com/wiki/October_23,_2020 at least twice]] during this period.
51	* DuelingDubs: There are two Finnish dubs, which are easily identifiable by whether it uses localized names or not. The dub that uses localized names (''Ryhmä Hau'') is done by Dub On/Revolver Studios and presented by Yle [=TV2=] as part of the children's magazine show ''Pikku Kakkonen'', while the other dub that keeps the English names is done by KM Studio Finland, commissioned by Nickelodeon and used for the streaming service Viaplay and the DVD releases of the show. Note that the movie uses the former dub.
52	* DuelingShows:
53	** It competes with two similarly themed shows on [[Creator/DisneyChannel Disney Junior]]: ''WesternAnimation/PuppyDogPals'', which centers on the adventures of dogs in the city, and ''WesternAnimation/PJMasks'', another show starring superheroes. While ''Puppy Dog Pals'' isn't as successful as ''PAW'', ''PJ'' is just as popular as its toy sales are on par with ''PAW'', to the point where the franchise grosses more money than the ''Franchise/DisneyPrincess'' line.
54	** Ironically in both France, and Mexico, ''PAW'', and ''PJ'' broadcast on France's TFOU since ''PJ's'' sixth season, and on Mexico's Canal 5, when Televisa licensed both shows in the mid 2010s from Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} (Who license the show outside of Canada from the IP's owner, Spin Master), and Creator/EntertainmentOne respectively to broadcast both shows domestically on their network due to both shows being extremely popular in the country.[[note]]Creator/{{Hasbro}} still allows Televisa to continue broadcasting ''PJ Masks'', along with ''WesternAnimation/PeppaPig'' when Hasbro gain control of those two properties from eOne.[[/note]]
55	** Before ''WesternAnimation/PuppyDogPals'' and before ''WesternAnimation/PJMasks'', The main competition for ''PAW'' throughout 2013-2018 was with another [[Creator/DisneyChannel Disney Junior]] series ''WesternAnimation/SofiaTheFirst'', while ''Sofia'' had better ratings than ''PAW'' at first,[[note]]Not helping the matters was that Nickelodeon was being overtaken by Disney Channel through 2013-2015.[[/note]] ''PAW'' would quickly turn things around and surpass ''Sofia'' in overall ratings and mass global popularity.[[note]] What also helped is that Disney would end their shows after three or four seasons, Sofia ended after it's fourth season and the IP countinues to exist through sequel/spin-offs shows like Elena of Avalor and an upcoming Sofia spin-off, much like Adventure Time, while PAW Patrol, thanks to the IP being on Nickelodeon, and is owned by Spin Master, has went beyond 4 seasons and is still going on to this day.[[/note]]
56	** There's also competition from ''WesternAnimation/ThomasAndFriends'', another preschool series featuring vehicles as the focus. What doesn't help is the FandomRivalry (well, to be more exact, Fandom Jealousy as very few ''PAW'' fans notice the flaming from the ''Thomas'' fans).
57	** Oddly enough, despite being aimed at a different demographic, Cartoon Network seems to consider this show to be a rival to ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo'', as both shows contain heroes who save their town and often get similar Nielsen ratings. [[note]] At one point, the first airing of the day for both ''PAW'' and ''TTG'' got nearly identical viewerships.[[/note]]It's gotten to where if ''PAW'' is having a new episode on a holiday that kids have off from school, Cartoon Network will compete with it by airing a ''TTG'' marathon at the same time the new episode is broadcast. At one point, both shows used Fridays as an excuse to hold all-day marathons, which only ''PAW'' has now as of 2020.
58	** The theatrical film is this with ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse Movie'', which releases the same day in the United States and is also based on a Nick series.
59	** In Japan, the show competes with another PreschoolShow about unconventional superheroes, ''[[Literature/{{Anpanman}} Soreike! Anpanman]]''. Both franchises also appear in the same preschool magazines in Japan (''Baby Book'' and ''Mebae'').
60	* EarlyBirdRelease: The Japanese dub aired ''Ready, Race, Rescue'' in theaters four seasons earlier than when it should, with appearances from characters that have yet to be introduced left intact. In another, more interesting case, ''Jet to the Rescue'', a 45-minute movie set in Barkingburg that aired in Season 7, is going to air in theaters to coincide with the currently airing Season 4, the season that introduces Barkingburg and the "Mission PAW" subseries. With there being only three "Mission PAW" episodes in Season 4 stretching their synergistic marketing strategy a little bit too thin, TV Tokyo then aired "Mission PAW" episodes from Season 5 in the middle of Season 4, just a week before the movie's release.
61	* HeAlsoDid: Creator Keith Chapman also did ''WesternAnimation/BobTheBuilder''.
62	* InvisibleAdvertising: The film's trailer premiered online two months before release. To make matters worse, [[ReleaseDateChange it was originally supposed to be released in May]], with two different dates slated for release, [[https://people.com/movies/paw-patrol-the-movie-first-look-images-show-new-pups-voiced-by-kim-kardashian-and-more/ one of which was mentioned here]].
63	* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: The episodes, Pup-Fu!, and Pups Save Sensei Yumi [[BannedEpisode have been oddly pulled from airing and are not available for purchase on digital store fronts anymore for unknown reasons]], they're not even available on streaming services either, while Pup-Fu! can still be easy to get if you own or bought a second hand copy of the Sports Day DVD release, Pups Save Sensei Yumi, however, is more difficult to get since it wasn't released on ''ANY'' DVD set. (Unless you [[NoExportForYou live in Nordic countries]])
64	* KidsMealToy: UsefulNotes/McDonalds Japan released a set of bath stickers in their Happy Meals[[labelnote:*]] or Happy Set as it is known over there[[/labelnote]], making this series one of the few to receive a Happy Meal promotion. It's even one of the rare instances where Sweetie is featured alongside Everest and Tracker.
65	** Burger King also released a set of toys in their King Jr. Meal to promote the release of ''The Mighty Movie'', featuring five of the six main pups and Liberty.
66	* LongRunner: Has been running since 2013, and is the first Nick Jr. show to go past eight seasons.
67	* TheMerch: Naturally, because of the show's {{Cash Cow\|Franchise}} status. ''PAW'' merchandise of various types ranging from plush toys to dinnerware to shampoo is legion both in stores and online. It's gotten to the point where you can find more ''PAW'' merchandise than that of ''[=SpongeBob=]''.
68	* NoExportForYou:
69	** A strange case with the [=DVDs=]. In the home country of Canada, the [=DVDs=] are made by Kaboom, and those releases often comprise of entire seasons in a random order[[note]]Usually after a season is complete, Kaboom! will release it in a box set, similar to other shows they've released in the past like ''WesternAnimation/TheBerenstainBears'' and ''WesternAnimation/{{Franklin}}''[[/note]], while in the US, Nickelodeon makes them, and their [=DVDs=] often contain episodes that were released on previous compilations.
70	** Nordic countries[[note]]Norway, Finland, Denmark, and Sweden.[[/note]] have a DVD set called ''The Huge Monkey & Other Stories'' which has the episode, Pups Save Sensei Yumi, an episode which, in recent times, has been removed from airing and is no longer available to purchase anymore on digital stores for unknown reasons, and it's not even on streaming, making the episode extremely difficult to get if you live outside of Nordic countries since it's not available on any other DVD set in any other country.
71	** Despite being released theatrically in virtually every other major English-speaking country as well as in Poland and Japan (for the latter film), ''WesternAnimation/PAWPatrolMightyPups'' and ''Ready, Race, Rescue!'' have not seen any theatrical releases in the United States, not even as an event cinema release.
72	* OneBookAuthor:
73	** The show provides Deann Degruijter's only role as a major character (Mayor Goodway), as her only other roles were minor, excluding a recurring role in ''[[WesternAnimation/{{Franklin}} Franklin and Friends]]''.
74	** This is the only animated work Hiromi Okuyama (first voice of Farmer Yumi) has worked on, as she more frequently appears in short films.
75	** Owen Mason's only major TV role was Ryder in Season 1.
76	** Rex's voice actor, Luxton Handspiker, had his only TV role in this show. Like Okuyama, he mostly does short films.
77	** Haruka Sugita, Japanese voice of Everest, had her only TV role here. She mainly does video games and TV commercials.
78	* OnlySoManyCanadianActors: Not as extreme as other Canadian shows, but many of the child voice actors have worked on many recent children's TV shows where the voice actors were Canadian, such as ''WesternAnimation/DanielTigersNeighborhood'', ''WesternAnimation/PJMasks'', ''WesternAnimation/CreativeGalaxy'' and the Rick Siggelkow-produced version of ''WesternAnimation/LittlePeopleEgmont'', as well as some alumni from ''WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}}''. This also applies to an extent to some of the adult cast, many from other Canadian works, as listed under PlayingAgainstType.
79	* TheOtherDarrin: [[TheOtherDarrin/PAWPatrol See here]].
80	* OutOfHolidayEpisode:
81	** Any episode that's holiday-themed will air on [=TVOntario=] months before the holiday being celebrated occurs, since Canada usually airs the episodes in production order rather than holding off the holiday-themed episodes until it's close to the actual holiday like Nickelodeon does. Perhaps the most notable example was the first episode, whose second segment takes place during a festival celebrating the end of fall, aired in August as the premiere of the show. The only time TV Ontario averted this was for the ChristmasEpisode, which aired on Christmas Eve. This also applies to re-runs on the channel, with one example being a HalloweenEpisode airing in May.
82	** Not even Nickelodeon is prone to this trope. "The Pups' Winter Wonder Show" occasionally airs when it's not winter, usually whenever Nickelodeon airs one of the show's 30-minute episodes on a Friday. It also premiered in Australia in late March, 3 months before winter. And on May 5, 2020, "Pups and the Werepuppy", a segment from one of their {{Halloween Episode}}s, aired.
83	** Holiday episodes are also part of the regular rotation in the United Kingdom too, at least on Channel 5's Milkshake block.
84	** In Japan, "Pups Save Christmas" aired on September 21, 2019, likely due to the channel airing the episodes in production order like [=TVOntario=] does.
85	** Nickelodeon held off an episode featuring an {{expy}} of the UsefulNotes/MacysThanksgivingDayParade until the day before Thanksgiving. In Canada, that episode aired on October 27, 2019, a month before the actual parade in question was held. Nickelodeon then put the episode into their regular rotation, airing it well after Thanksgiving was over.
86	** "Pups Save Election Day" airs even when it isn't around Election Day, which occurs in November. It's justified as it isn't really a holiday, despite the fact that some school districts have off on that day.
87	* PlayingAgainstType:
88	** You wouldn't expect Ryder (Jaxon Mercey) to share a voice actor with [[WesternAnimation/DanielTigersNeighborhood Prince Wednesday]].
89	** Devan Cohen (Rubble) plays [[WesternAnimation/DanielTigersNeighborhood Daniel Tiger]]. Starting 2018, Rubble's voice actor also voices [[WesternAnimation/PJMasks the Night Ninja]], a villain instead of a hero.
90	** Likewise, Zuma's old voice actor (Emily Thorne) plays a villain on the [[WesternAnimation/PJMasks same aforementioned show]], as Romeo.
91	** May we also mention that Danny (Creator/DanielDeSanto) shares a voice with [[WesternAnimation/TheMagicSchoolBus Carlos]]?
92	*** As of Season Five, he shares his new voice (Jonathan Malen) with [[WesternAnimation/WildKratts Jimmy Z]].
93	** One of the penguins in "Pups Save the Jungle Penguins" is voiced by Creator/SonjaBall. Couldn't you imagine a minor role penguin having the same voice actress as [[Anime/SamuraiPizzaCats Polly Esther]], [[WesternAnimation/SagwaTheChineseSiameseCat Sagwa's Nai-Nai]], [[Series/WimziesHouse Wimzie]] and ''WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}}'''s mother?
94	** Christian Destefano, Alex's first voice, was one of the many voices of [[WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}} D.W. Read]], a BrattyHalfPint who is WiseBeyondTheirYears compared to Alex's naive nature.
95	** Another minor role, Otis Goodway, was voiced by Creator/JamesRankin, who played [[WesternAnimation/{{Franklin}} Mr. Owl]] and ten different characters on ''Series/TheNoddyShop''.
96	* ProductionPosse: Creator/DanielDeSanto, Christian Destefano, Devan Cohen, Berkley Silverman, Drew Davis, Samuel Faraci, Creator/JulieLemieux, Creator/JuanChioran, Creator/PeterCugno and Creator/SonjaBall all had roles on ''WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}}''.
97	* RealLifeRelative: Creator/LillyBartlam (second voice of Skye) and Creator/AnnaBartlam (Codi Gizmody) are sisters.
98	** The same applies to Kallan Holley (Skye's first voice), and Creator/AddisonHolley. (The first voice of Julia Goodway, and the voice of The Cheetah.)
99	* ReferencedBy: [[Referencedby/PAWPatrol Has its own page]].
100	* ScrewedByTheLawyers: This is why Ryder has a DubNameChange to Kent in the Japanese dub: Takara Tomy licenses the ''PAW Patrol'' toyline in Japan, but their rival Bandai copyrighted the Japanese spelling of Ryder, "raida", for their ''Franchise/KamenRider'' toys.
101	* SendingStuffToSaveTheShow: A rare non-cancellation example involved posting images of merchandise without the girls to ask for merchandise with all the pups on it, lead by an organization called ''Let Toys Be Toys''. It worked for the North American merchandise, but merchandise sold outside of that region generally has the same problem.
102	* SequelFirst: Japan got ''Ready, Race Rescue!'' before ''Mighty Pups''. This might be because the latter movie contains a later series spoiler, with said spoiler being [[spoiler:the introduction of Robo-Pup]].
103	* ShortRunInPeru:
104	** Despite being a Canadian show produced for [=TVOntario=]'s children's block, ''PAW'' first aired in the United States two weeks before its home country. In fact, a majority of the episodes aired in the US prior to Canada, with the exception of several holiday-themed episodes, which Nick decided to hold back. However, Nick aired "Pups Save Christmas" before [=TVOntario=] (they aired it on Christmas Eve)
105	** "Pups Save a Pool Day" and "Circus Pup Formers" aired in Canada first due to Nickelodeon taking a hiatus in between new episodes.
106	** Starting with Season 6, Canada began showing episodes before Nickelodeon. Most notably, the episode introducing Rex aired on [=TVOntario=] first and re-aired on BC's Knowledge Network several hours later, as evidenced by screenshots that surfaced several hours after these airings. Apparently, Nickelodeon found out about this, and bumped their airing of this episode to June 26, 2020 (it was originally intended to air in July).
107	** "Pups Save Old Trusty" and "Pups Save a Pony" aired in Finland a month before it aired in the United States and ''seven months'' before Canada.
108	** A few Season 8 episodes, "Pups Save The Hiding Elephants" as one example, all premiered in the UK/Ireland before their American premiere.
109	* SpoiledByTheMerchandise: Lunchboxes revealed the PAW Patrol's new designs as well as the design of Liberty, the new pup who's going to be introduced in the upcoming feature-length movie.
110	* TrendKiller: The monster successes of shows like this and ''WesternAnimation/DocMcStuffins'' has mostly ended the use of Fake Interactivity in preschool shows that ''WesternAnimation/BluesClues'' made popular. Now, most preschool-aimed content tries to teach kids lessons without faking interactivity. A research study done by Disney in 2010 provides further insight into why this is the case. Before the Disney Junior block was conceived, the company surveyed parents and asked them what they wanted to see in the shows their kids watched. Most parents wanted their kids to watch stories that would make them happy and that they could tell back to their parents, a change most likely resulting from the rise of tablet and smartphone apps teaching preschool concepts. In comparison, when Disney conducted the same survey five years prior, parents wanted their children to learn educational concepts from these shows.
111	* UnisexSeriesGenderedMerchandise: Likely because the show features {{Cool Car}}s and {{Transforming Mecha}}s which are traditionally thought of as "boy things", most of the merchandise is aimed at boys. The exception is merchandise featuring the two girls, Skye and Everest, that rarely features the boys on it (and when they do feature one of them, it's Marshall).
112	* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
113	** It [[https://www.bbc.com/news/business-44617684 was originally conceived as]] a ''Anime/{{Bakugan}}'' spin-off aimed at preschoolers.
114	** Ryder had two different names before his final name was chosen, with those being Raffi and Robbie.
115	** The earliest known concept art had [[https://www.theglobeandmail.com/ece-images/92c/news/national/article37401570.ece/BINARY/w1100/pawpatrol2.jpg super-deformed designs]] where the dogs had a more [[FunnyAnimal anthro]] look. There was also a scraped red firefighter dog, with his role being replaced by Marshal. Ryder also had a very similar look to WesternAnimation/BobTheBuilder, the protagonist of creator Chapman's first TV series.
116	** [[https://lostmediawiki.com/w/images/thumb/5/55/PPOg-image.webp/1200px-PPOg-image.webp.png Later pieces]] [[https://lostmediawiki.com/w/images/2/28/Pawpatrol4.jpeg of concept art]] had a more realistic style for the dogs and Ryder has a similar look to the final show, but he wore a blue vest and a hat.
117	** [[https://pawpatrol.fandom.com/wiki/Katie/Gallery?file=Tumblr_nhzrrotjLn1rsc6wyo4_r1_1280.jpg This piece]] of concept art shows what some designs of what Katie was originally going to be like before becoming a blond, with some showing her with brown, red and even purple hair, along with one that has glasses.
118	** Apparently Rocky wasn't always meant to be some obscure mixed breed. [[https://pawpatrol.fandom.com/wiki/Rocky/Gallery?file=Tumblr_nj2bcdlU6y1rsc6wyo3_1280.jpg He used to be entirely beige in color (the dog on the top left.)]]
119	** [[https://lostmediawiki.com/w/images/thumb/d/df/Timber_concpet_art_by_blue_anchor_dawhu5y-fullview.webp One piece]] of concept art shows a scrapped Timber character who was going to be a companion to Jake.
120	** Ryder was going to build the team by rescuing various pups himself instead of having them all from the start, but this was ditched due to a Canadian TV requirement for preschool shows produced there to have pro-social themes. "Pups Get a Rubble" gives a glimpse into what these early episodes could have been like. The first theatrical film touches a bit on how Ryder met Chase, and the second on how Ryder found Skye.
121	** [[http://paw-patrol.wikia.com/wiki/Sweetie/Gallery?file=Paw_patrol_commercial_they_call_her_sweetie_mission_paw.jpg This image]] promoting "Mission PAW" has Ryder wearing a rather spy-esque outift consisting of a black shirt, gray pants and shoes, and a headset. He doesn't wear this gear in any actual "Mission PAW" episode.
122	** The [[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/paw-patrol/images/6/64/True_Metal_Mighty_Pups_Super_Paws_Tracker.jpg official Mighty Tracker toy]] proves that Tracker was at least considered to appear in the "Mighty Pups" sub-series, enough to have his own costume and his own vehicle — and judging by his pup-tag, his own superpower — if he ever did.
