Gladstone was the dogs name in 'Sherlock Holmes' (2009), and it was actually Watson's dog first, Watson brought Gladstone with him when he moved in.

------

Neither Sherlock Holmes nor Watson are ever said to have a dog in the books though, on occasion, they borrowed dogs such as Toby in 'The Sign of Four.' Pompey in 'The Adventure of the Missing Three-Quarter,' or the unnamed dog in 'A Study in Scarlet.'

"Now would you mind going down and fetching that poor little devil of a terrier which has been bad so long, and which the landlady wanted you to put out of its pain yesterday." -- Sherlock Holmes, 'A Study in Scarlet'

Toby proved to be an ugly, long-haired, lop-eared creature, half spaniel and half lurcher, brown and white in colour, with a very clumsy, waddling gait. -- John Watson, The Sign of Four

___When we descended I followed Holmes into the stable-yard, where he opened the door of a loose-box and led out a squat, lop-eared, white-and-tan dog, something between a beagle and a foxhound.

___"Let me introduce you to Pompey," said [Holmes]. 'The Adventure of the Missing Three-Quarter'

I understand Gladstone was an English bulldog in the 2009 Sherlock Holmes movie, but it belonged to Watson.

No Sherlock Holmes did not own a dog. However, he is rather fond of Toby, a bloodhound that he occasionally borrows for tracking. The other main canine would be the one in The Hound of the Baskervilles. Dogs play a key part in a couple of other stories, including Silver Blaze and The Adventure of the Missing Three-Quarter.

no
No, though he did occasionally rent dogs named Toby or Pompey from an acquaintance of his that acted as unofficial sniffer dogs on some cases.

Although Holmes didn't own him, you're probably thinking of Toby or Pompey.
