He is also left-handed. Dolph's hair can appear either reddish [like Jimbo's] or dark brown. He has an unnamed father, an unnamed mother, and an unknown sister.
Dolph is a 6th grade student at Springfield Elementary. Dolph once attended Hebrew school, [1], and according to a school profile, he can speak "Spanish, German, Hebrew, Arabic, Korean, Latin, Old English, English, Klingon, and Esperanto"[2]. Dolph has 2 fathers: one of them has an eye patch and the same haircut as Dolph [3]; he is shown next to Kearney's and Jimbo's dads.

Behind the Scenes
Dolph was named after one of Matt Groening's classmates from Lincoln High School named Dolph Timmerman. Groening stated that Timmerman was not a bully but just a real cool guy.
Dolph is generally regarded as the most mysterious of Jimbo's group and never really has a big part until seasons 19,20,& 21. He is also Jewish as shown in season 20 episode 9. Dolph is also known as the best looking out of them. He's starting to have more speaking parts and he could be the softest out of the group, however we have seen he is not as soft as Nelson Muntz. Some fans have offered criticism for the show's writers, citing that in The Simpsons' nearly twenty year run, Dolph is one of very few characters to have been almost completely ignored. Dolph is also a very minor character compared to Jimbo and Kearney and he doesn't speak as much as them. However in newer seasons he tends to be speak more regularly than in the earlier episodes.
