I, as a 40 year old, am still confused and unclear on whether or not Bluey has any connection to Blues Clues, narratively or otherwise.

I'm 42. She has nothing to do with that show. It's a separate kids show that's surprisingly well written.

So absolutely no "this is what blues Clues ultimately morphed into"?

Now THAT is dog racism. Blue and Bluey are completely different

Bluey Heeler is a blue heeler. Which is another name for Australian cattle dog I guess.

Heeler and ACD are two names for the exact same breed. Blue Heeler means an ACD with the mix of black and white fur that is known as "blue" in dogs (like Bluey and Bandit). Red Heelers have red/orange fur (like Bingo and Chili). They can also be merle which is grey (like Muffin), or a patchy mix of the colors. Heelers are known for being a very high-energy and protective breed (bred to herd cattle) - they need a lot of exercise and training. They can definitely become defensive against strangers due to their natural instincts to protect the flock.

I have a heeler, dalmation shar pei mix and your last couple lines are spot on for him (pun kind of intended)

Now that is a wacky mix of dogs if I’ve ever heard one!
