The dogs in the movie.....


What kind of dogs are they????????
(u can see them when cedric is talking with is secretary)

reply

A borzoi, or a Russian wolfhound.

reply

actually they are afghan hounds.

reply

Right kcbtarts05..they are afghans.. I saw him in an interview and that's what he said they were.


reply

I think he was mistaken in the interview. Though the shape of the two breeds are similar, the dogs in the movie did not have the long Afghan hair. They were Borzoi.

Here are photos/descriptions of both breeds:

You're correct. They are Borzoi. The only thing they have in common with Afghan Hounds is that they both are "sighthounds."

reply

They don't look like afghans at all. Check a pic sometime.

reply

They are Borzoi. I've had zois for years and everyone always asks me if they are Afghan hounds.

reply

Yes, they looked like Borzois to me too. I had a Borzoi briefly but couldn't keep her because she had the unfortunate habit of attacking any other dog she came in contact with, including innocent little poodles.
