Female. But the films/TV shows always used a male collie, because they
looked more impressive on film (fuller coat, etc) than females.

According to the plots, female. "Come here girl! Good girl!"
However, the canine actors that played the role were always male.

Lassie was a bitch (female dog), but all the dogs that have played her in the movies were male.

Maybe Miramax could make a new PG-13 Lassie movie called The barking game ?

Ya know, I've seen more than one canine homosexual act. . . .

If Lassie were to get of on a human's leg, would that be bestiality(on Lassie's side)?
If so, I've seen more than one bestial dog.

My GOD(DOG) what a sick species!!
we let are children watch and mold themselves to these disgusting creatures!!!

Lassie is SUPPOSED to be a female, hence "Lassie". However, most or all of the dogs
(there are 15, I think: some for close-ups, some for facial expressions, some for
certain tricks, some for other reasons) are male.


hope this helps
