Biography[]

Rubble is an English Bulldog pup and the construction pup of the PAW Patrol. His main color is yellow. His truck looks like a bulldozer, modified with drills and other construction tools. In "Pups Get a Rubble", it is revealed that he is the youngest member of the PAW Patrol.

In "Pups Get a Rubble", before he joined the PAW Patrol, Rubble lived on his own, and it was hinted that he was a stray dog, which meant he had no home or family to take care of him. He met Ryder and the PAW Patrol when he was a little puppy after getting himself stuck on a tree branch hanging over the ocean and was rescued by Chase's net. After being fed, Rubble sneaked into Chase's vehicle before he deployed for a mission and later showed his digging skills while freeing Jake from a pile of snow boulders. Ryder later announced that they had found a home for him as the construction pup of the PAW Patrol.

Rubble & Crew[]

Rubble is a work-hard, play-hard kind of pup. He can easily find the fun in a messy disaster and doesn’t get discouraged when things are looking grim. Rubble loves his snacks, playing with his pals, and throwing on his cool shades to spin tunes and rap as DJ Rubble!

Personality[]

Rubble is a fun-loving English bulldog with an enthusiasm for comedy. His two great loves are skateboarding and eating. While he is quick to crack jokes, he makes sure to stay serious when on a mission. His belly grumbles a lot.

He also tends to be superstitious as he frequently believes in spooky stuff such as ghosts or monsters and tends to disagree with Ryder's beliefs that they're not real. And most of the time when things are resolved, he would usually make sarcastic comments.

In Rubble & Crew, he is the leader of the Crew when he moves to Builder Cove with his family and settles into their new home in the Bark Yard to build all the projects with the help of Mayor Goodway's sister, Mayor Greatway or the citizens in Builder Cove, and making safe ways to build after the disastrous results of their rival Speed Meister and Mr. McTurtle.

He has bright brown eyes and a tiny tail that can barely be seen. His right ear is beige and has two brown spots, while his left ear is brown. An often overlooked detail on Rubble's face is that his whisker spots on the sides of his snout are asymmetrical, being that the whisker spots on the right side of his snout are slightly higher than the ones on his left.
