If you mean the Lassie from years ago, it was an American male dog (not a female) a Rough coated collie which originates from Scotland, evolving from dogs brought there by the Romans around 50 BC which mated with local dogs. Hope this helps!

Long before such canine upstarts as Benji and Beethoven prowled the multiplexes, there was Lassie. Much more than a dog, she was a devoted companion, a courageous protector and a fearless fighter. Lassie was a lonely boy's best friend. Indeed many baby-boomers cannot hear "Greensleeves", the indelible theme music from later episodes of her long-running TV series, without feeling an exquisite sense of nostalgia. This beloved American icon captured the hearts of millions with her sentimental but rousing adventures in a popular series of films, TV shows, a radio program, personal appearances and numerous comebacks. Lassie first appeared in a 1938 short story by Eric Knight in the "Saturday Evening Post". A novel, "Lassie Come Home", followed in 1940.

Scotland, lassie used to be a very popular name for a female dog in Scotland but Lassie in the film was actually a male dog.

The first dog to play the role of Lassie was Pal, originally from Glamis Collies of California.

Well Lassie from the film is from Yorkshire,
But the breed of dog (collie) is from Scottish Borders.

As usual there are a lot of stupid answers but Mackten has got it right.
The breed originated from Scotland and was a much stockier, robust dog with a broad head similar to the Border Collie.
I believe a male was used as 'Lassie' because he was bigger and more striking with a thicker coat.
