Successor Rin Tin Tins
Rin Tin Tin, Jr., appeared in several short films in the 1930s. He starred with Rex the Wild Horse in the Mascot Pictures serials, The Law of the Wild (1934) and The Adventures of Rex and Rinty (1935). He voiced the part of Rinty in the radio shows produced during that era, as well. He was sired by the first Rin Tin Tin and his mother was Champion Asta of Linwood, also owned by Lee Duncan. Lee Duncan gave some of the original Rin Tin Tin's puppies, those from mate Nanette (the second Nanette who was given to Duncan to replace the original who had died shortly after arriving in the United States), to friends such as Greta Garbo, Jean Harlow, and Will Keith Kellogg.
Rin Tin Tin III starred alongside a young Robert Blake in 1947's The Return of Rin Tin Tin but is primarily credited with assisting Duncan in the training of more than 5,000 dogs for the World War II war effort at Camp Hahn, California.
