Who is Bluey?
Here is the official description – “Bluey is a 6 year old Blue Heeler pup who loves to play. Her parents and teacher give her lots of time to practice, which means she’s become very good at inventing games, helping everyone choose their roles and deciding on the rules. Her favourite games are ones that involve lots of other kids and grown-ups (especially her dad) and she mainly likes to pretend she’s a grown-up doing grownup things herself.” https://www.bluey.tv/characters/
So is Bluey a boy or girl?
Bluey who is blue like her dad is in fact a gril! If you look at the official description above carefully, you will notice Bluey has been referred as “her”.

- Bluey has some traits of a young boy.
- Her gender has not been said in the first few episodes.
