Yakky Doodle is a series of animated segments as part of The Yogi Bear Show, produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions. Airing in syndication, it ran from 1961 to 1962, airing 32 episodes that spanned two seasons.

Yakky Doodle is a little duck who lives with his best friend, a bulldog named Chopper. He usually goes into dangerous territory—especially in times when it is expected—and sometimes falls prey to foes such as Fibber Fox. Luckily for him, Chopper swoops in to defend his "Little Buddy" from these encounters when necessary.

Legacy

Reruns of Yakky shorts were featured as part of episodes of Yogi Bear and Friends.

Yakky and Chopper guest starred in the Yogi's Treasure Hunt episode "Yogi & the Beanstalk," wherein Chopper was giving Yakky a bedtime story.

Perhaps then naturally, Yakky and Chopper were reconcieved as having a child-parent relationship in the HBO Max original series Jellystone!, only they are now both females.
