I have read in a couple places that the dog who played Old Yeller in the 1957 Disney movie was named Spike and he was a mastador (half yellow lab, half mastiff). Although I am not 100% sure (can't believe everything you read) Here is a video clip of the movie. I think I can see it, what do you all think?

Aww, watching that ALWAYS makes me want to cry!
Anyway, yes, I can see the mastiff/lab, too. Especially in the neck -- "Yeller" has a thick neck and large chest like the mastiff.
Rocco's got that thick, strong neck, too. He's very good at the game of tug. :)
Old Yeller was a Black Mouth Cur
In the book, not the movie.
