Anyone else a fan of "inspector Rex "an Austrian television show about a German Shepherd

[raccoon]

That works with a policeman. it’s subtitled.
(i’m learning German on Duolingo and once in a while I’ll catch a word or two.)

I’m watching it on hoopla Through my library. I like German Shepherd dogs a lot, but it’s not really feasible for me to own one for various reasons. I would like to have one for a guard dog if I were younger, lived in a bigger place, was more experience with dogs, etc..

1. Enjoyed the first couple of seasons

Love how Rex is always stealing the other guy's sausage!

Also noted there appears to be a US version, in some sort of Hallmark family format, streaming on Prime. How you would make the Austrian Rex more "family friendly" I can't imagine.

3. Is the one on Prime Hudson and Rex?

I had to subscribe to UP through Prime to get it. I will have to look to see if there is a free way to get it on Prime. I did see it's on Ion Plus on Google TV, but I think it may only be on 1 day a week in a marathon style airing.

4. Yep, that is it I believe

I haven't looked at it. Almost all of the US remakes of European shows are not very good, we have felt.

10. It's not Emmy worthy thats for sure,

but it's fun to watch how well trained that dog is.

I do like the U.S. Version of Ghosts. The cast and characters are great!

2. I don't have access to Inspector Rex,

the Austrian version, but I do watch a Canadian version inspired by that show. It's called Hudson and Rex. It has the same premise of a human police detective with a German Shepherd partner.

While there is crime in it, including murder, it isn't gruesome and it has humor too. I mainly watch because I have loved the German Shepherds since I was 5, and have rarely been without since. The guy isn't bad to look at either.

5. It's Canadian?

Ok, didn't know that. Actually Canadian programs are better than American ones as well, as are many from Australia and New Zealand.

11. Yes.

The first year or two of it, it wasn't available in U.S. but now UP airs the seasons, shortly after the Canadian airings.

6. Sounds like a good show! Hope I can access it.

12. I do enjoy watching it

That dog is well trained.

7. Is that the story of a ruff on crime detective in a dog on dog city?

The perps end up in the Austrian federal ken.

8. Had a GSD. Passed a decade ago.

Don't tell anyone, but he was my best friend.

Sounds like a cool show, will look into it.

TY

9. I binge on Hudson and Rex when it's on in my area. GS is my favorite dog and IMO there's nothing

more comforting to watch than a well trained dog who loves his work. BTW: H&R is on for 12 hours straight today and on Saturdays it's on for 7 straight hours.
