I did consider that'd have a 'Only Sane Pup' Personality too, but she's able to have a personality outside that. So, I considered mixing 'Only Sane Pup' in with the other traits.
Although, how would Only Sane Pup work?

If Smudge is the Only Sane Pup, would that make her snarky? It might contribute to her Street Persona too...Chances are she may get on with Nemo though, wouldn't she?

This is what I’ve got for Smudge.
She comes from a City Background, and the reason she’s on the Dearly Farm is because she’s an exchange student for the Bark Brigade.
She might have traits of Street Jazz and might work as the ‘Sane One’. Being the one whose paws the reader may place themselves in.
Any other factors we should add to her?
Like her main group of friends? Who would most likely be amongst Smudge’s Friends? Other Pups who have had street experience?

Sounds like you're giving the hint that Smudge used to be in a gang of pups. Seeing that you titled her as the "sane one", I'm guessing it was a Four Man Band. Are you sure this comic is not going to be all about her and her city life?

It's not going to be All about her. And it's going to be about the Dearly Farm Life. Like mentioned, this Comic's going to be about all the Dals on the Dearly Farm.
However, we will see her in some stories after the first one, even if she isn't the lead, won't we?

Alrighty, this is what I got for the story of the first strip.
Smudge is on a Grocer Van (like in "Lucky To Be Alone") recounting her life on the street, joining the City's 'Bark Brigade' Corp, but always feeling the odd one out there. She then heard about a Platoon in the Country that has Dalmatians as the majority, so jumped at the first opportunity for a transfer.
Smudge arrives at the Dearly Farm and meets a Pup there (haven't decided whom yet and may need to consult their creator if a Fan One), she talks to the Pup and they tell her to see Lt. Pug. Upon her meeting with Lt. Pug (which consists of getting shouted at), she is assigned to Cadpig to show her around the Dearly Farm.
Some more meeting of Pups and then something.
Any ideas for whom she can meet or what this something can be?

I think it would be better to stick with her meeting canon characters for the first few episodes. It would help someone transition easier from the show canon to ours, I think.

Do you have a definitive number of how many comics Smudge is going to be in?

Yeah, That does make sense, Bishop. It's one reason why I'm having it be Cadpig to show her around the Farm, although I guess we could introduce her to the Main Dals first, but the question then is how we ease the Fan Dals in to the strip?
And for Belchic, I can't really say for certain, considering we're talking about the first story here. But we won't detract too much from the Official Dals. You really concern on how big Smudge's Part is, don't you?

Well, remember: this comic is supposed to be about the whole Dearly Family, not just Smudge.

There are fan characters in Bark Brigade, right? Maybe Pug puts her on an assignment with some of them.

Now, That can work, Bishop! May need to ask on who wants in on the Strip too.
And then, with those Pups who she's assigned tasks with, they introduce her to Pups they know who aren't in the Brigade. Taking one branch, which branches to another and then to another.
And this Comic will be about all the Dals, Belchic. Like said, Smudge is suppose help the reader along, since she's being introduced to these Pups, like the reader. Isn't she?

babclayman This a pretty cool thought out Idea, I'll be thinking of something that my Dals will do in this series as well, may take a few comics though before I can come up with something though. Belchic Think of it as the Legend of Zelda, what Smudge sees, the reader sees, yeah, that pretty much covers what Bab is saying.

I say stick to canon characters in the beginning. But if you need a BB pup for a mission you can use Lusious :3

Well, I've begun work on the first issue of the comic.
However, something I need to be sure of is Smudge's Personality. I guess she may have an inner dialogue, expressing her thoughts, and might have some jazz in her, what with her Street Life.
However, What do you Pups reccommend?
