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.

No. The dog ("dawg") was actually two collies, (with dyed coats) from the Ken Weatherwax (Lassie) studio.
