## Trivia

* Being the main protagonist, Bluey has never made an absence on any episode.
	+ She has only been absent in four *shorts*, namely Pea Pod Sausages, Green Bottles, Mower and Honk.
* Viewer gender confusion: Bluey has frequently been mistaken as a male by many viewers, mainly due to her looking like her father, having some traits of a young boy and her being blue, a steriotipical "boy color". In fact, when the show first aired, nearly all initial viewers assumed Bluey and Bingo were male, as their gender had not been said in the first few episodes, though a few episodes later, it was stated that Bluey and Bingo were female dogs. Even after this, many people who have only seen small things from the show tend to think Bluey is a boy, it has even got to the point where plush toys of Bluey nearly always get put in the "boys toys" aisle of stores, and in some cases, the plush is even straight up listed as a "boy dog plush" in online listings of it.
	+ Fandom nod: This is later referenced in a few episodes, in Double Babysitter when Uncle Rad said, "cause he's blue," after which Bluey corrects him, saying that she is a girl and in Kids, when a cashier says to Bandit, "You've got a nice boy there!". Unfortunantly, to some, this may have worsened the confusion, as these are the only times Bluey is refered to as a male in the show
* Bluey's favourite animal is fruit bat, as seen on episode Fruit Bat.
* Bluey's favourite colour of capsicum (bell pepper) is yellow, as mentioned in the episode BBQ.
* Bluey's favourite breakfast is fruit salad, as mentioned in the episode Fruit Bat.
* Bluey's older version can be seen at the end of episode Camping.
* Bluey's family is the first to have a known surname.
* Bluey once played as a cameo, as seen on episode Army.
* Bluey and Bingo have unlockable Emojis on the DisneyNOW app and website that can be used on the user's profile. These emojis use the art style of *Disney Emoji Blitz*, a match-3 puzzle game for mobile phones.
* She may be unable to read as seen in Takeaway and Bus, although in some episodes as well as in the short Crazy Christmas Lights, she can be seen presumably reading a book. However, she might just be looking at pictures.
	+ She is also intrigued by the fact that her buddy Mia can write, which could mean that she is unable to either.
	+ In Library, she can be seen reading aloud, which could mean that Bluey is starting to be able to read. Though again, she could just be trying to retell the story through the pictures.
* Throughout Bin Night, she is shown to have a white belt on an unspecified martial art.
	+ Later in the episode, she can be seen advanced to the yellow belt.
* Bluey plays the recorder, as shown in Queens and Bin Night.
* Baby Race features Bluey when she was still a baby.
* In Baby Race, Chilli confirms that Bluey is still two years older than Bingo, although she might just be approximating (either by default or excess).
	+ It is possible while Bingo's fifth birthday happened in Handstand, Bluey's seventh birthday must've happened off screen sometime before Handstand or is to happen slightly after it.
* In Burger Shop, it is mentioned that she is in preschool, more specifically a preparatory school as stated in Calypso's bio.
* In Jingle Bells short, this marks the first short where Bluey speaks.
* Bluey is the first charcter to have their middle name revealed
* In Family Meeting it is revealed her middle name is "Christine"
* In the ABC Kids Listen app's Story Time promo, she briefly cameos as a drawing on a smartphone.
* Even though she has the physical appearance of a Blue Heeler, she is technically a Red/Blue crossbreed.
* It is likely that she is named after a real dog in Australia named Bluey, who lived to be nearly 30 years old and was the oldest dog to ever live  before Bobi broke the record on 2 February 2023.
* To protect their privacy and for "safety reasons", the identity of Bluey's voice actor in the ABC Kids version of the show is kept a secret from the public unlike many other children's TV shows which reveal actual names of children actors and actresses. And to this day, their identity is still a mystery. The same also goes for the other voice actors for many of the other children, including Bluey's sister, Bingo. This is why the Disney version of the show has adult actresses voicing the children instead, with the main exception of Amelie Bea Smith, who is actually a child. In the case of Bluey, she is voiced by Jim Henson veteran Karen Prell.
