Over the course of the character of Lassie's long standing decades in film, over seven types of collie bred dogs have played the role of Lassie since 1943. She was originally played by a collie named in Pal in 1943 and Pal played Lassie from six films all the way up until 1950. Pal's descendants continue to play Lassie in current and future interpretations of the Lassie character.
