Rin Tin Tin was a male dog. He was a German Shepherd who became famous in the 1920s as a star in silent films. Rin Tin Tin's popularity helped to popularize the breed in the United States.
Rin Tin Tin was named by Hollywood dog trainer Lee Duncan, who found the German Shepherd puppy on a World War I battlefield in France. He named the dog after a popular French puppet character, "Rintintin," which he had seen during his service. Duncan recognized the dog's potential for film and later brought Rin Tin Tin to the United States, where he became a major star in silent films and early talkies.

Three dogs were used for "The Adventures Of Rin-Tin-Tin," all male purebred German Shepherds, very similar in appearance and characteristics. All the dogs were owned by Lee Duncan. Rin-Tin-Tin IV was the principal dog with a bloodline going back to the original Rin-Tin-Tin (1920-1932), also owned by Duncan. The others were "Hey You" and "Rin-Tin-Tin II (used sparingly). The typical life of a German Shepherd is 10-15 years. The series ended in 1959. Rin-Tin-Tin IV was born in 1952, according to the fan club. If, indeed, this is the same dog who died in 1986, he would be 34 years old for a German Shepherd, almost unheard of. The exact date of Rin-Tin-Tin IV's passing is not listed. Today Rin-Tin-Tin the 12th makes tours. I think it is more likely a bloodline grand-dog, like Rin-Tin-Tin 6th who died in 1986. Duncan passed away in 1960. The Rin-Tin-Tin purebred blood line is still breed-ed in Texas, being passed on from Duncan to someone there. It continues today. I can tell you for certain Rin-Tin-Tin V, the son of the dog used for the television series, was born in 1957 and died in 1964.
There was never a dog named Rin Tin Tin that changed its name to Tintin. Rin Tin Tin was a real-life German Shepherd dog that became a famous movie star, while Tintin is a fictional character created by Belgian cartoonist Hergé. The two have no direct connection.
