Production

Around 2008–2009, Butch Hartman began production of his third show for Nickelodeon, T.U.F.F. Puppy. He said that he had created the central character wanting to make a crime-fighting show based on him. Because his previous animated series Danny Phantom already involved superheroes, Hartman decided that he would focus on making Dudley a secret agent. He pitched the series to Nickelodeon as " Get Smart with a dog." [5] The show premiered in 2010 alongside the Jimmy Neutron spin-off Planet Sheen . [6] The show ended five years later on Nickelodeon's spinoff network, Nicktoons.

Eric Bauza (who voices Foop in The Fairly OddParents and Leather Teddy in T.U.F.F. Puppy), was originally chosen to be the voice of Dudley Puppy, but the creators didn't feel that he was right for the character and Jerry Trainor was chosen instead. [7]

The original title of the show was Stud Puppy. [8]
