"Flame"
was another German Shepherd Dog
that made numerous films in the 1940's and into the 50's. He was quite talented and drew
lots of people to the movie theaters.
I believe he took over for the aging "Ace".

"Rin-Tin-Tin, III"
I believe during the war years of the 1940's, Mr.
Duncan spent most of his time
training dogs for the Military. In 1947 he introduced Rin-Tin-Tin,
III in a movie titled
"The Return of Rin-Tin-Tin".
This movies was also released as
"The Adventures of Rin-Tin-Tin" and co-starred a
young
Robert Blake, Claudia Drake and Donald Woods. I know of no other films starring Rin-Tin-Tin, III.

"Rin-Tin-Tin, IV"
On October
15, 1954, "The Adventures of Rin-Tin-Tin", made it's debut to
Friday Night Television. The show was set in the Old West and featured a heroic German
Shepherd Dog,
"Rin-Tin-Tin" with a small boy as his companion, "Rusty".
The boy had been orphaned in an Indian raid
after which he and his dog "Rinty" were adopted by the Calvary soldiers of Fort Apache.
Rinty and Rusty were made honorary soldiers and helped keep Law and Order on the Old
Frontier.
The series ran until August 28, 1959.
Three German Shepherd Dogs filled the roll in this TV series.
Two of which were descendants of the original Rinty
and one I believe to be an offspring of another canine star, " Flame".
These were the last of Mr. Lee Duncans "Rin-Tin-Tin" dogs which
were ever to hit the screen again.
On Tuesday, September 20, 1960, Mr. Duncan died of a heart attack at his ranch in
Riverside CA.
He has left many exciting and happy memories with people of at least four
generations.
To the best of my knowledge, there were only two movies starring "Rin-Tin-Tin. IV" that were made for the theater.
"Rin-Tin-Tin - Hero of the
West" (1954) and "The Courage of Rin-Tin-Tin" (1954).
Both were take-offs from the TV series.
"The Adventures of
Rin-Tin-Tin" - A six Video set featuring 12 episodes from the 1950's TV series.

"The Mountain Eagle" (1926)
A early Hitchcock movie in Germany.
The German Shepherd Dogs name is unknown
and the film is Lost
___________________________________
Although today there are a few
movies that may have the appearance of a German
Shepherd Dog
they are surely not as frequent as it were years ago. More than half of the early Silents and
the first Barkies are Lost and are probably never to be seen again. I feel lucky to have found the
ones
I have and been able to view them as many may never have that pleasure.
Some of us Baby Boomers remember the 1950's, 60's and 70's where you had
"The Adventures of Rin Tin Tin" with Rin-Tin-Tin, IV and
Rusty
"The Roy Rogers Show" with "Bullet" - "Corkey and White Shadow" with
"Chinook"
"The Littlest Hobo"
with "London" - "The Adventures of Champion" with "Rebel"
"The Bionic Woman" with "Maximillion" the Bionic German
Shepherd Dog
"The Tonight Show" with "Leica" who
appeared occasionally with his master Jack Parr
"Longstreet" with "Pax" who starred with James
Franciscus
"Run Joe Run" with "Heinrich" as "Joe" (Click
Here)
and even "Happy",
"Smiley" and "Walter" that appeared on
"The Jack La Lanne Show".
I apologize if I missed any others but I did the best I could.
Hopefully someday there will be another "Strongheart", "Rin-Tin-Tin", "Peter the Great", "Lightnin",
"King", "Ace", "Flame" or some other German
Shepherd Dog to come crashing thru to save the day.
One Never Knows !!
