Best Answer

The first Lassie, a collie named Pal, died in 1958 at the age of 18, from natural causes. Eleven generations of his offspring have appeared in Lassie productions for TV and film between 1954 and 1999.

The most recent Lassie, a dog nicknamed Mason, appeared in the 2005 movie and is still living in 2011.

Some sad news, Mason died unexpectedly Thanksgiving morning, November 22, 2012

The first dog to play Lassie was a male dog named Pal. Pal played Lassie in Lassie Come Home, six other movies, and two television pilots.

Pal retired after 11 years in the industry, and his son, Lassie Jr., stepped in to play the part of Lassie thereafter.

From 1954 to 1958, Pal lived with his trainer, Rudd Weatherwax. He buried him on his ranch.
