Does Will Ferrell use the same dog in his roles?
In the scene from The Office where Will Ferrell is training Andy Bernard how to be a good salesman, he is holding a dog that looks very similar to Baxter from Anchorman. Is Will Ferrell partial to this particular dog?
Best Answer
I assume you are referring to this scene in the animal shelter:
He could be partial to that breed (the Border Terrier), but it is not the same dog:
Anchorman was made in 2004:
That dog's real name is Peanut, he died in 2010, according to the same source, and no mention of another relation to Will Ferrell is made. In Anchorman 2 another dog was cast.
Season 7 of The Office U.S. was made in 2010 (it's hard to get a proper shot):
The differences in size and colouring become obvious here.

What kind of dog is Baxter?
Who doesn't love the wise, multilingual Border Terrier of Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy ? (I mean, aside from the bad man who punted Baxter, of course.) In 2004, audiences first laid eyes on the pajama and headgear-wearing pooch, and he just about ran away with the entire movie.Who played Baxter the dog?
There were three dogs on hand to play Baxter, but Quince ended up as the sole performer. As in the case of the first movie, Baxter has a pivotal role in the latest Anchorman.Will Ferrell, Exotic Animal Expert

Answer 2
I don’t think that Will Ferrell is partial to this sort of dog per say. I think it was done purposely as the show has tons of “hidden humor” for instance in the meeting before the booze cruise, in the conference room, Steve Carell is talking about titanic and jokingly Jim gave a smart answer followed by Pam saying “I think you mean the Hunt for Red October” referring to a book by Tom Clancy that features John Krasinski on the cover.
Same dog though? No lol. As said above, poor little Baxter is in heaven.
