He is greedy, in one episode he wants a Leprechaun (Irish: Leipreachán) because he thinks it make him rich. In another episode he tries to get rid of Droopy to be the "Lucky Dog" and be rich. In the movie "Tom and Jerry Meet Sherlock Holmes" he locks Droopy in a room full of explosives so Droopy wouldn't get the money prize that the police sheriff offered who'd catch the criminal first. But because of Cartoon physics Droopy even though clearly he was in the room appears not in the room and then Butch opens the door and the Explosions blast him making his head look like toast. In the end of the movie though, Droopy gets the reward he deserved and Butch ends up with nothing. He also tries to trick him because he's in love, in the Chump Champ he tricks Droopy to get rewarded a girl that looks "cute". Technically Butch wins but when the girl is revealed she's super ugly, Butch screams and runs away but the girl chases him, and Droopy gets the crown.
Him and Droopy can be Neutral/Friends sometimes, also in Tom and Jerry Meet Sherlock Holmes they play the Toccata and Fugue on the piano together, albeit sending Tom and Jerry flying and they break the glass window to hay with a pitchfork, because of whom were stuck inside the piano and Butch and Droopy were playing too loudly, but overall he and Droopy don't collaborate well together
In The Tom and Jerry Comedy Show, Butch is replaced with Spike Bulldog who is enemies with Droopy and caused confusion if Spike or Butch were the same dog, but when Butch finally returned in Tom and Jerry: The Magic Ring it finally cleared up the confusion as both Butch and Spike appear in the film.
In Double Dog Trouble it is revealed that he has a twin brother named Spike, who gets as mad just like him but unlike him he acts like an ape when he gets mad, a song that only Butch knows calms him down.
He loses in every episode where he's the antagonist, but he wins every episode where he's the protagonist (excluding Garden Gopher), in Ventriloquist Cat and Cat's Meow he gets revenge on the Cat who tricked him to get exploded so much. And in Cock-a-Doodle-Dog he gets revenge on the rooster as he couldn't sleep with the rooster crowing.
