Captain Blackfur/Trivia

*Captain Blackfur, Jack Scallywag, Grover Goodway, and Wild Wilbur are the only characters in the series that are deceased as they are historical figures.
**He is the first historical pirate mentioned in the series, the second being the Jack Scallywag who was mentioned in "Sea Patrol: Pirate Pups to the Rescue". 
**Unlike Captain Blackfur whom is suggested to be a noble pirate, Jack Scallywag was more villainous due to his use of a magic flute to hypnotize and enslave animals to serve him according to Tracker who heard stories of the fearsome pirate from his Great Granddog. It is unknown if Jack Scallywag and Captain Blackfur were active pirates during the same historical period, though both left behind hidden treasure which was later found and recovered by the PAW Patrol.
*Blackfur is one of two notorious outlaws from Adventure Bay's past, along with Wild Wilbur. Both where outlaws in different eras of Adventure Bay's history, as Captain Blackfur was a pirate during the Age of Piracy, while Wilbur was an outlaw during the Wild West. Both also left behind their hidden treasure, which would later be found by Ryder and the PAW Patrol.
*Though unconfirmed, it is possible that Captain Blackfur may be Rubble's ancestor or a blood relative. Both are English Bulldogs that are known to live in and/or around in Adventure Bay. However it is also possible that they are simply the same breed and are not blood related.
*Though he is viewed as a romanticized figure as most famous historical pirates usually are, as a pirate, he was for all intense and purposes a criminal as piracy is a criminal act. However it should be noted that during the real world Age of Piracy, it was not uncommon for pirates to work legally as privateers (pirates licensed by a nation to legally plunder ships of enemy/rival nations), so it is possible that Captain Blackfur could have obtained his pirate treasure legally. Of course, it could have been obtained both legally (through privateering) and illegally (via piracy) as it was not uncommon for privateers to become pirates and vice versa.
*Captain Blackfur's namesake: Edward Thatch or Edward Teach, also known as Blackbeard.
*Despite being a pirate and criminal, it is shown by his final pronouncement that he was noble and thought well enough of the people and town of Adventure Bay as he bequeathed his treasure be returned to the townsfolk by whoever found his hidden treasure.
*He is the first known pirate pup in the series that engaged in piracy (as the PAW Patrol only dress up as pirates and occasionally search for hidden treasure) with the second being Arrby, and he is the only historical pirate pup as Arrby is a modern day pirate pup. Captain Blackfur is the only pirate pup known to have been a pirate captain, as Arrby works as a pirate under his human owner and Captain Sid Swashbuckle.
*In "Pups Save a Mer-Pup", another portrait of him can be found within the sunken pirate ship that the the Baby mer-pup gets trapped in. It is unclear if the ship belonged to Captain Blackfur though it is likely given that it is not uncommon for pirate captains to command more than one ship (as some historical pirates have commanded fleets of ships) or switch to another ship (such as one in better quality, condition, and/or faster). It is also not uncommon for any ship (pirate or otherwise) to be damaged (through battle, sailing the sea, and/or weather) or sink thus it may have been sunk (in battle or by natural causes such as a storm or rogue waves) or scuttled (intentionally sunk). 
**However the portrait's appearance may simply be an Easter egg cameo or simply the reuse of assets/props by the animators.
