Bluey Family Tree: The Heeler Family
Bluey Heeler is a six-year-old Blue Heeler puppy who lives in Brisbane with her dad Bandit, her mum Chilli and her little sister Bingo, and the show’s best episodes often bring in the wider family: Nana and Grandad, Uncle Stripe and Aunt Trixie, cousins Muffin and Socks, Uncle Rad and Aunt Brandy. This Bluey family tree shows every Heeler and how they are related, which also makes it a friendly first family tree for children.

The Bluey family tree chart
Bandit’s side of the family is on the left: his parents Bob and Chris and his brothers Stripe and Rad. Chilli’s side is on the right: her dad Mort and her sister Brandy. Bluey and Bingo are in the middle of the bottom row, next to their cousins Muffin and Socks.
How to read the lines
- A short line between two people joins a couple; a dashed couple line means the marriage or relationship ended.
- A line going down from a couple (or one parent) to a horizontal bar leads to their children, who sit side by side on the row below.
- A dashed parent line with a small label marks an adoptive, step or guardian parent rather than a birth parent.
- Long lines across the chart join people who married into another branch. Click either person to see the connection highlighted.
Every Heeler from the show in one chart, drawn in the Kids / Classroom style of our family tree maker. Open the full-size image or open it in the editor to rearrange it.
Bluey’s immediate family
The Heelers live in a Queenslander house in Brisbane. Bandit, Bluey’s dad, is a Blue Heeler and an archaeologist who will play almost any game his daughters invent. Chilli, her mum, is a Red Heeler who works part-time in airport security. Bluey is six (seven in later episodes) and Bingo is four. Like real Australian cattle dogs, Bluey takes after her blue dad and Bingo after her red mum.
Bandit’s side: Nana, Grandad Bob and the uncles
Bandit’s parents are Bob and Chris Heeler, known to the girls as Grandad and Nana. Bandit has two brothers. Uncle Stripe is married to Aunt Trixie, and their daughters Muffin and Socks are Bluey and Bingo’s cousins. Uncle Rad works on an oil rig and is the “cool uncle”; in the special episode “The Sign” he marries Frisky, Bluey’s godmother.
Because Bandit, Stripe and Rad are brothers, Muffin and Socks are Bluey’s first cousins. Their dads grew up together, which is why so many episodes show the brothers acting like kids again.
Chilli’s side: Grandad Mort and Aunt Brandy
Chilli’s dad is Grandad Mort, a stubborn but loving grandfather who refuses to take it easy after a heart operation. Chilli’s sister is Aunt Brandy, whom the girls barely knew until the episode “Onesies” revealed why she had stayed away: she had always wanted children and found visits hard. Chilli’s mother is not shown in the series.
Who is related to whom?
- Bluey and Bingo are sisters.
- Muffin and Socks are their first cousins (daughters of Bandit’s brother Stripe).
- Stripe, Rad and Brandy are Bluey’s uncles and aunt; Trixie and Frisky are aunts by marriage.
- Bob, Chris and Mort are her grandparents.
- Chilli is Muffin’s aunt by marriage, and Brandy is not related to Muffin at all: she is on Chilli’s side of the family.
A Bluey family tree for a school project
Because the Heelers are a small, warm, ordinary family, the Bluey family tree is a lovely way to teach young children what a family tree is. Ask them to find Bluey, then her parents, then her grandparents, then her cousins, and to notice that some relatives join the family by marriage. Then let them draw their own. Our family tree for kids template has big boxes for drawings, and the school project guide has ideas for every age and every kind of family.
