God Only Knows! they used a variety of dogs- even within the life-span of one animal- as different types of dog-training and stunts were required- a different tactic- and probably different animal, would be used in a situation involving Lassie in a fight with a wolf or other wild animal- and one in a mercy mission situation. not a pup-of-all-trades, different dogs were used for different stunts- you can't have Fred Macmurray ( Mr. sweet guy) and say Clint Eastwood in the same character- even harder to do with animal actors. a good deal of trick Photography was used to hop up heroic situations, etc. a loose piece of cliffside rock might be close to the ground but this would not be seen through a distant telephoto shot focusing on say, Timmy in a tight spot - The rock itself could be molded plastic, paper-mache or something of that ilk, so even if he did fall off- damage would be minimal. It is something like the climbing rocks they used to have in Central Park.
