- TriviaThe punning title refers to Phil Baxter (I)'s novelty song, "I'm a Ding Dong Daddy from Dumas."
- GoofsWhen the dog is in front of the metal dog statue he named Daisy, he pulls his head up out of the ground and has a ring of grass and dirt around his neck. When he shakes it off and the grass and dirt fall to the ground, it disappears in the next shot.

Canine love
Watched 'Ding Dog Daddy' because it is always interesting viewing Warner Brothers animation that doesn't have the classic characters that we know and love.
'Ding Dog Daddy' may not be a masterpiece of animation, nor does it try to be. It is very successful at being very well made and entertaining, which is more than what one can ask for in a cartoon. There isn't anything really wrong with 'Ding Dog Daddy', other than that it just misses the extra spark. On paper the concept is a silly one and the story is on the slight side. These come over as very minor though and seem like nit-picks with the strengths being a great many and as well done as they are.
The animation is great with beautiful colours and meticulous detail. The characters are drawn well with smooth movement. Carl Stalling to me was always the best Warner Brothers/Looney Tunes composer as well as the most consistent. 'Ding Dog Daddy' is another example of consistent greatness, his music is lushly orchestration, cleverly synchronised, vibrant, characterful and not only fits and adds to the action but actually enhances it.
In terms of gags, 'Ding Dog Daddy' may seem familiar, but there are a lot of clever and witty touches that make the cartoon feel fresh. The concept on paper seemed silly and this silliness translates to the cartoon in a way, but it regardless works because the material is strong.
Characters-wise, while dumb, the main dog is funny and quite likable and the bulldog is a formidable and just as entertaining adversary. The voice acting from Mel Blanc, Tedd Pierce and Pinto Colvig is excellent.
Overall, well made and fun. 8/10 Bethany Cox
