*Jake originally had thought of the idea of Rubble joining the PAW Patrol.
*He is confirmed to be the youngest pup in "Pups Get a Rubble".
**But with the unveiling of Tracker and his confirmed age, Rubble is actually the second youngest member of the PAW Patrol along with Zuma. This may be an error as he was the smallest out of all of them and Zuma was average-sized.
*He is the very first character to appear in the series.
**He is also the very first character to speak a line.

*He enjoys bathing and has a fondness for bubble baths.

**Jake Beale is the only cast role on that series who never gets a character role for this show (PAW Patrol) at all.
*He is the first and only member of the PAW Patrol to need a pup to take his place (Chase in "Pup Pup Boogie" and Zuma in "Pups Save a Super Pup"). He also is the first and only member to need that twice.
**Both times, his replacement pup drove his rig.
***In "Ultimate Rescue: Pups Save the Pupmobiles", Arrby drives his rig, making Rubble the only pup to have had another pup drive his vehicle 3 times.

*He is fast at Pup Pup Boogie, but can't do the splits well (as seen in "Pups and the Lighthouse Boogie").

He was later found by Ryder, Marshall and Chase who manage to rescue him via Chase's net. He became an official member of the PAW Patrol after assisting Ryder and the PAW Patrol in rescuing Jake, who had become trapped in the snow on Jake's Mountain.
**But with introduction of "Rubble and Crew", it shows that Rubble has a family but it's unknown how he got separated from them and ended up in Adventure Bay in the first place and yet there could be a few possibilities:
***Rubble was young when Ryder and the others found him so it's likely he didn't remember his family before he got separated and wandered around on his own until he reached Adventure Bay.
***As well as Rubble with Ryder's help did find them and they explained how Rubble was lost "off-screen". 
***Ryder took Rubble in until he could find his family but when they did Rubble made his choice to stay with Ryder but keep in touch with them.

*Although he appears to be the 6th member of the PAW Patrol (hence the #6 on his bulldozer), he was actually the 7th member of the PAW Patrol.
*His original name may have been Digger as DirectTV incorrectly calls him that in their description of "Pups Save a Pool Day".

**In Season 1, his dream was in "Pups and the Beanstalk".

***Since his only first deployment with Skye occurred in a dream, he has not actually done so in reality, until "Pups Save the Hippos" where it became official.
**In Season 3, his dream was in "Pups Find a Genie".
***Humorously, after his dream in "Pups Find a Genie", he demonstrates an uncharacteristic aversion to bathing, though Rubble's reaction is understandable given to what happened to him in his dream.

***He was also the first one to have been called by Apollo in "Pups Save Apollo".
