I heard lassie.net gave out promo copies of "Lassie's Pet Vet" recently. How do I get one?

The promo episodes of "Lassie's Pet Vet", and other promo items, were supplied to us by Classic Media. During the Mid Atlantic Nostalgia Convention, copies were given to attendees of the presentation, "Lassie, A Dog's Tale", and some were given out at National Dog Day by lassie.net. Current fan club members in good standing will be receiving a copy in the mail, but because our quantities are limited, they are not available through other means. You can view the promos and a full episode at lassie.net and also at the official Lassie Pet Vet site.

Is Bob's Laddie a littermate of Lassie (HeyHey)?

No. Laddie was born on 12/12/1998. HeyHey was already appearing in the Cinar series at the time Laddie was born. They are both sons of Lassie 8 (Howard) but with different mothers.

I was at MANC and saw the video on Lassie collectibles. Is that available online?

Yes it is!

The video that was shown was a segment from HGTV's Ultimate Collectors and featured lassie.net's Cathy Schmidt's collection. You can view that clip, and many others at http://www.lassie.net/hgtv.htm, or click on the Video/Audio link for a complete list.

I just received an auction catalog that has "bootleg" Lassie items. What does that mean?

"Bootleg" is a term that is used to describe a product that is illegal in some way. During the Wrather years when thousands of licensed Lassie products were produced, many products were made by companies and individuals that did not secure licensing, and offered for sale without permission. Those items were considered "bootleg" and although illegal, gained a certain popularity among collectors. Because they were not licensed, they had limited distribution.
