Dog




Does anyone know what kind of dog is it that follows Alain Delon around the Prince's house early on in the movie? Beautiful dog.



Those are harsh words to throw at a man, especially when he's walking out of your bedroom.

It's a great dane, I think. The biggest of all dogs.

I wondered the same thing. It's such a gorgeous dog!

The same breed which starred in Turner And Hooch, by the way. Just one of many similarities between the two films.

Turner & Hooch had a French mastiff (dogue de Bordeaux). Close, but no cigar.

So it did. I stand corrected.

Those dogs are gorgeous, especially the Tibetan Mastiff. I'm a bit put off by the fact that some of them were bred for dogfights, but I love dogs that look big enough to ride.

There's also a species of bat called the Mastiff Bat:

I knew you'd want to be informed about that.

It seems to combine mouth and ear in a perfectly scary fashion.

Who says that bats have not earned their reputation?

It is for sure a great dane. I have had one myself identical to the one in the movie.

reply

I think it was a doberman (have you seen The Boys from Brazil)




"What does it matter what you say about people?"

reply

Definitely not a doberman which are fiercer looking. I was thinking mastiff but I know zip about dog breeds.

reply

I'm quite sure it's a Great Dane. In no way does the dog in the movie resemble a Mastiff. The Great Dane is slim, long, and tall. The Mastiff is stocky and bulky with shorter stature than the Great Dane, as well as blessed with a larger head frame.

GOOGLE Neapolitan Mastiff and the Great Dane, and see which dog it resembles.

reply

I just watched this film again, and you happen to be right. It's a black great Dane.

that's a big dog!

I seem to recall that the dog, Bendicò, was described as a Great Dane in the novel.
