Personality[]
D.J. is a Dalmatian who likes listening to music, as he is seen wearing headphones almost all the time. He also likes playing music using whatever objects he can find as instruments. While maintaining lively and rambunctious, he's shown to be quite mature, as he advocates his older brother Dylan not feeding into peer pressure in "Dotty Dancing," holds down a job, and generally seems to be the most level-headed of the younger pups.
Physical appearance[]
D.J. is a Dalmatian puppy with black ears that have a single big white circular spot on both of them that resemble headphones and two spots above his right eyebrow. He wears red headphones and a red collar with a black square dog tag with a white circle on it.
Role in the series[]
D.J. first appeared in "Boom Night" at the very end of the episode, relaxing on the roof and watching the fireworks with his siblings.
D.J. also appears in "Winter Funderland", entertaining guests at the indoor snow party by playing icicle drums with two soup ladles.

His first vocal appearance is in "The Woof Factor", where Dolly and Dylan come to him, looking for a third pup to help fill in for Triple-D in an advert, as the actual Triple-D are double booked. However, D.J. is unable to, as he is planning on busking in Covent Garden.
In "Dal-Martians", he used a theremin to make alien sounds as Dolly and Dawkins were fooling Dylan into believing aliens have come to Camden.
In "The Dog House", he helped Dolly and Triple-D build a human by programming the sound it makes, under what Triple-D describe as humans constantly talking.
