Hondo Dog Park was created in 2007.
The area of Hondo Dog Park is 15,175.711584 square meters.
Hondo was made in 1953. Big Jake was filmed in 1971. I thought it might be the same dog until I researched the dates the movies were made. It is unlikely that they used the same dog in films that are 18 years apart.
Sam the dog
In the movie the dog breed was a St Bernard
It is a mixed breed
No dog breed was used. The wolves were computer generated.
The Thai Ridgeback dog breed was used for this task.
I believe that dog was a Rough-coated Collie. I would not be surprised to find out that the dog was trained by Rudd Weatherwax, the man that trained all the Lassies.Many movie information sites and books list "Lassie" in the cast of the classic John Wayne Western Hondo. Close, but not true, according to a correspondent who knows the Weatherwax family: the collies in Hondo and the later Wayne Western Big Jake were trained by the Weatherwax kennels and were Lassie siblings and children, but were not played by Lassie himself. There is a story, very probably apocryphal, that says during the filming of Hondo Wayne won Lassie away from Rudd Weatherwax in a very "highly lubricated" after-shooting-hours poker game, then "gave the dog back" in the morning.
I believe the breed was the Presa Canario
Labrador
A cur is a mixed breed or random breed dog. The word is used as slang for mean dog, or a person referred to as mean.
