What type of dog is LASSY ? From the show Lassy .?

Answer 1

Lassie is a Rough Collie..there have been nine Lassie's over the many years, and ALL of them have been males! lol

The first dog to play the role of Lassie was Pal, originally from Glamis Collies of California. The original owner could not train the dog and hired Weatherwax Trained Dogs to do the job. When the owner couldn't pay the bill, Pal became owned by animal trainer Rudd Weatherwax and his brother Frank Weatherwax.

Before Pal's death, he was bred with a number of bitches, resulting in hundreds of offspring, Nine direct line descendants of Pal have performed as Lassie. All offspring not chosen to be the next Lassie were adopted with spay/neuter contracts.

All 9 Lassies have been male, playing a female character. The female collie loses her coat at least once a year making it unsuitable for use year round. Also, the male is larger and a child actor can play opposite the dog for a longer period of time.

Answer 9

This is a great reason why Yahoo answers is so terrible. People who have no clue answering a question. Lassie is a rough collie.
