The original PAW Patrol team consisted of six pups: Chase, Marshall, Skye, Rocky, Rubble and Zuma.
These six characters formed the central rescue team when the series began in 2013. Each pup was assigned a distinct role and vehicle: Chase served as the police and security dog, Marshall handled firefighting and first aid, Skye flew the helicopter, Rocky managed recycling and repairs, Rubble operated construction equipment, and Zuma handled water rescues.
The team later grew as new pups joined the franchise, including Everest, Tracker, Tuck, Ella, Rex and Liberty. Because later seasons and films feature expanded rosters, viewers sometimes count more than six when asked about the show's full team.
The answer refers specifically to the original core lineup, not every pup introduced across the wider PAW Patrol universe.
