Question for Harry Potter movie buffs |
|
In the movie Hagrid has a dog, Fang. What type of dog IS Fang? (I know in the movie he's a Boarhound but what type of dog is he in real life?)

2. You're right- Neopolitan mastiff |
|
Fang is a Neopolitan Mastiff whose real name is Bully. He's one of four dogs that portrays Hagrid's "boardhound" Fang. Bully was rescued from a junkyard by one of the movie's production trainers. He was also adopted by the trainer once the film ended. http://www.pamperedpuppy.com/guides/doghollywood/whatshot.php

I thought it was a Mastiff of some kind but wasn't sure.
