The premiere episode of T.U.F.F. Puppy drew 3.6 million viewers.[5]

Production
Butch Hartman said that he created the central character and wanted to make a crime-fighting show based on him. Because his previous show Danny Phantom already involved superheroes, Hartman decided that he would focus on making Dudley a secret agent. He pitched the show to Nickelodeon as "Get Smart with a dog."[6]

Eric Bauza was originally chosen to voice Dudley, but the creators did not feel that he was right for the character.[6]
