'''Buck''': Buck is the main protagonist of the novel, a Saint Bernard/Scotch shepherd mix. He is stolen from his comfortable life in California to become a sled dog in the brutal Yukon.

'''Spitz''': Spitz is one of the antagonists of the novel, as well as the main antagonistic dog. He is the head of the sled team that first arrived in the Yukon, a proud and aristocratic dog. His fur may be white, but he has a black heart, shown when he laughs at Curly being mauled to death. Ever since then, he and Buck become rivals, seeking to overthrow the other.

'''Dolly''': Dolly is the second-to-last female dog added to the team after Curly. She becomes rabid one day and lunges at Buck - the closest dog to her - but is mercy-killed by Francois.

'''The Six Outside Dogs''': These six are dogs that Hal bought to boost the number of dogs to pull the overheavy sled. Three are shorthaired pointers, two are mongrels, and one is a Newfoundland. Buck's team look down on them in contempt, and while Buck teaches them what to do, he can't teach them what not to do. They die off much quicker than the main team, with the two mongrels hanging on a bit longer before giving up.
'''Skeet and Nig''': These two are John Thorton's dogs that join him on his expedition. Skeet is a young female Irish setter, and Nig is a large male Bloodhound-Scottish deerhound mix. Both are very friendly dogs; Skeet would wash Buck's wounds that he got from Hal, while Nig had "eyes that laughed and held a boundless good nature". Sadly, both dogs are killed by the Yeehat Indians along with their master.
