Weatherwax is currently constructing 'House that Lassie Built' on 160-acre ranch near Newhall. Lassie at 5 years of age has about another five years of movie work before him. He acts in TV films which cost $25,000 to $30,000 apiece about six months out of year. Rest of the time he likes to romp on spacious Newhall ranch."; See images #00112227 through #00112232 for all photos in this series.
