Dog Names that Start with Pa

Everyone loves Lassie, right? The first ever dog who played Lassie was a Rough Collie named Pal. Since 1943, ten generations of Pal's descendants have also played Lassie in films and on television. In fact, one of Pal's descendants portrayed Lassie in 2007. Pal was born in 1940 and starred in seven different Lassie films in the mid-1940s to the early 1950s. He also appeared in shows, fairs, and rodeos. He even starred in two pilots for the television series Lassie in 1954, but retired after the pilots aired. He died four years later at the age of 18.

Although Lassie is a female character, she has always been played by male Collies. Lassie is famous for a thick coat, which male Collies tend to retain in the summer, which makes them look more Collie-ish on film. Since male Collies are larger, it has also been speculated that male dogs are used to prevent human child actors from outgrowing them before the films are completed.

Our next famous Pa dog is Pasha. Pasha was one of President Richard Nixon's dogs. While Checkers was the most famous of Nixon's dogs, he never actually lived in the White House. Pasha did, however, live in the White House with the President. Pasha is a errierT. She lived in the house with an Irish Setter named King Timahoe and a Poodle named Vicky. Pasha was the smallest dog in the White House at the time.

Our third famous dog with a Pa name is Paddington the Pomsky. Paddington has gained a bit of an Instagram following by being an adorable dog that's a cross between a Pomeranian and a Husky. This breed is called the Pomsky. Paddington shares all of his fun adventures with his human Jen on his account. He lives in San Francisco, California, and he has won the hearts of many with his adorable, tiny, Husky-like features.
