    ''The book Old Yeller by Frederick Gipson was about a Mountain Cur but, in the 1957 movie Old Yeller, he was played by a yellow Hound cross. His name was Spike and was raised by Frank Weatherwax, after being bought as a puppy from a pound for 3 dollars.''

  11. Old Yeller was a Black Mouth cur. I don't know why so many people answered yellow lab. He was NOT a yellow lab. The dog who played Old Yeller was a pound dog picked up in Southern California, his real name was Spike. Rudd Weatherwax who trained him (who also trained Lassie) thought he was a yellow Lab/Mastiff cross. that's because nobody in CA knew anything about Black Mouth Curs, they'd never heard of them. The Black Mouth Cur is a true Southern breed and the BMC people recognized Old Yeller immedietly. That is the real answer.

  12. The exact breed of dog that was in "Old Yeller" was called a Black Mouth Curr. It wasn't a Yellow Lab or a Labrador Retriever.

  13. in the movie, lab/lab mix.

    HOWEVER...
