Development
In late 2017, Warner Bros. Animation began on planning on a new sitcom involving a family of dogs, two cat brothers and a mouse. Ricky Mouse was modeled after Herman the Mouse (from Paramount Pictures/Harvey Entertainment), and Sam & Bobo were modeled after the comedy duo Abbott and Costello.

Spike Brandt and Tony Cervone developed a new show, with Bob Camp as the character designer of the main characters. Ralph Bakshi and John Kricfalusi brought in their staff of writers, ultimately creating The Doggies. Many of their episodes are inspired by Ren and Stimpy, with a few inspired by Tiny Toons Adventures, Animaniacs and The Amazing World of Gumball.

Kyle A. Carroza was known for making wildy drawn expressions with bigger details.

Writing
The episodes were written by Vincent Waller, Jim Gomez, Bill Wray, Richard Pursel, Bob Camp, Jack Pendarvis, Tom Minton, Sherri Stoner and Ralph Bakshi. Story editing was done by John Kricfalusi and Ralph Bakshi themselves, respectively.

Voices
All of the characters were provided by TBA, with voices directed by John Kricfalusi himself since the show tends to imitate Ren and Stimpy, but more family-friendly.

Animation
Animation for The Doggies is farmed over to Toon City Animation in the Phillipines. The animation tends to be very fluid with Disney-style animation for a TV cartoon.
