It seems that there's been at least two dogs as Kommissar Rex. The first one died in 2003 and a new series released in 2007. Still I wonder if they had more than one dog trained in "acting" as Rex in the original series.

Basically any show that has a baby or an animal playing a role will use more than one baby and/or animal to play it, or at the very least have a second on standby. They probably had another dog that looked the same to use for simple shots like running somewhere or whatever.

Here's a fun and depressing fact:
The helicopter they used to play Airwolf in the show was later sold and turned into an air ambulance. It crashed during a rescue and killed everyone on board.

The character Lassie was female but was always played by a male dog because male dogs are bigger (which let them be used longer with a growing child actor) and their fur "looks better on camera" apparently.

Cool enough? Doomy is about as cool as wearing socks with sandals.
Doomy is about as cool as the guy who read that first line and wanted to say something funny about how cool that <i>really</i> is. Yes, I'm talking about you, guy.

Moved those quotation marks for you.
Your moved quotation marks make no sense. They make less sense than mine.
My quotation marks are god.
I like this sentence :P
Yes. I was so wanting to make this reference, but I realized that I was no where near cool enough to do it. Thank you, sir. Thank you.
