Aussie_Chick Posted January 4, 2005 Posted January 4, 2005 I was having an argument with my boyfriend about who was better....Wishbone or Lady (from Lady and the Tramp).I was adament Lady was better,while he thought Wishbone was. Anyway it got me thinking about who everyone's favourite t.v or film star dog was. Maybe its Lassie or Rin Tin Tin.Or Inspector Rex.It could be Pongo or Perdy from 101 Dalmatians or Eddie from 100 Deeds for Eddie Maguire. Although sometimes promoting these dogs on television often lead to them being overbred as everyone wants a 'Lassie' or 'Wishbone'. :( Quote

I grew up watching Lassie, so I've always been a big fan. Also really liked Jed, the HuskyX who always played wolfdogs - White Fang, The Journey of Natty Gann, The Thing (was a wolf then), etc. He's probably passed away though. Quote

JackieMaya Posted January 5, 2005 Posted January 5, 2005 The coolest dog I saw on t.v. was in a movie about a dog who was being used in experiments, and escaped (with the help of some humans) from the lab. I can't remember the name of the movie, but the dog was huge, some kind of mastiff, maybe Pyrenean Mastiff? Gorgeous dog. Quote
AllAmericanPUP Posted January 5, 2005 Posted January 5, 2005 gigishiba napisał(a):Chance from Homeward Bound. i second that! Quote
JackieMaya Posted January 5, 2005 Posted January 5, 2005 Okay, the movie I was talking about (I did some searching) is called "Man's Best Friend," and the dog is a GORGEOUS black and tan Tibetan Mastiff. Here is what they said about the movie: Plot Summary for Man's Best Friend (1993) A genetically mutated dog is accidentally released from the lab of Dr. Jarret and ends up at the home of news reporter/animal rights advocate Lori Tanner. The dog, Max, endowed with intelligence and other special abilities, is at first lovable, but also proves to be a ferocious, unstoppable killer. Quote

JackieMaya Posted January 5, 2005 Posted January 5, 2005 Here's a list of t.v. shows and movies that had dogs in them. It lists what breed they are and some other info. http://www.geocities.com/doug-tricarico/moviedogad.html Quote
Aussie_Chick Posted January 5, 2005 Author Posted January 5, 2005 Yeah,I think your right.The dog from Meet the Fokkers is a Brussels Griffon. Isn't Toto from the Wizard of Oz a Brussels Griffon,too? Quote
Cairn6 Posted January 5, 2005 Posted January 5, 2005 No Toto is a cairn terrier. And since I happen to have a cairn terrier named Toto he happens to be my favorite at the moment. I have gotten a lot of comments on his name including when he was a pup and I was looking for a trainer the lady said "No you didn't name him that, Change it right now" I didn't use her. My niece was 6 at the time and had just watched the wizard of Oz for the first time. I had never heard of a cairn terrier when I found mine and certainly didn't know the dog in the movie was a cairn. But Sam was so excited and I couldn't let her down. I still sometimes get embarrassed when mentioning his name. When he's hair is grown out he looks just like him too. I also found that very little people know what a cairn terrier is or what they look like. I am often asked if he is a scottie or a snauzer. When I tell them he is a cairn they don't know what that is. Apparently they are not too popular here in the US. People prefer the Westie instead. I guess because there are white. For some crazy reason a lot of people don't care for black dogs. They have always been my favorite. I'm rambling. Quote

It was... odd to say the least, since I thought I'd be watching a happy dog movie. Not one about a killer dog. But in Max's defence he didn't kill anyone unnessasarily. The ending was pretty sad too.

imported_Matty Posted January 5, 2005 Posted January 5, 2005 I liked the Dogue de Bordeaux off Turner & Hooch. Quote
imported_Debbie Posted January 5, 2005 Posted January 5, 2005 I used to watch Wishbone with my son when he was younger and that was before I had JRT's. Loved Wishbone !! I have to say Moose in the movie "My Dog Skip", I could watch that movie a million times and still cry !!! :wink: Quote
MBM Posted January 5, 2005 Posted January 5, 2005 I think Toto is a terrier, cant remember exactly but I think he/she (movies always get me on that sex thing) either a Border Terrier, or an Australian Terrier. I could be WAAAAY off though. My favs ever are Chance from Homeward Bound and Hooch from Turner and Hooch. I fell in love with both those wet mouth goofballs. lol Quote
