Lassie ~ fictional noble collie, possibly best known from her tv incarnation with Timmy. Fun fact: Lassie was always played on tv by a male dog. This was because female collies go into heat twice a year & shed a lot of their coats during that time, consequently shedding a lot of the Lassie look along with the coats.
