Boarhound

The boarhound (also known as the Great Dane) is a large breed of dog used historically for hunting wild boars. Rubeus Hagrid's pet, Fang, was an example of a boarhound, described as "enormous" and "black."

Behind the scenes

 * In the Harry Potter films, Fang is portrayed by a Neapolitan Mastiff named Hugo, not by a boarhound.
