Who is the father of Bluey and Bingo?

Bandit is the father of Bluey and Bingo.

Bandit Heeler is the dad in the Heeler family and the father of both Bluey and Bingo. He is married to Chilli, who is their mother, and the four form the central family unit of *Bluey*. Bandit's role is much more than background parenting: many episodes revolve around him joining—or being dragged into—the elaborate games his daughters invent.

Bandit is a Blue Heeler and works as an archaeologist. He is voiced by David McCormack, the frontman of the Brisbane rock band Custard, which also inspired Bandit's middle name, Custard. His playful commitment to role-play is balanced by moments in which he teaches his daughters about patience, empathy, cooperation and coping with disappointment.

Pat, often called Lucky's dad, is a neighbouring Labrador Retriever and is not Bluey or Bingo's parent. Stripe is another common mix-up: he is Bandit's younger brother, making him the girls' uncle. Stripe is the father of Muffin and Socks, who are Bluey and Bingo's cousins. Chilli is the mother, not the father, and Bandit is the family's dad.
