The breed was collie. The collie that played the role of Lassie in the first seven MGM films starring 'Lassie' was Pal. In due course, other Lassie films and a TV series was made, and most of the Lassies were descendents of the original Pal.

Their names include Boy, Howard, Hey Hey IIand Rockie (Lassie 10).

There were also one or two non-Pal 'Lassies', one of which was called Mason.

Of course, in all the films and broadcasts, the credits always said that Lassie was played by 'Lassie'!

Since all the dogs who ever played Benji (there were 4) were rescued from animal shelters, we do not know exactly for sure what breed mix they are, however it is thought that the Benji dogs were part Tibetan terrier.
