Ive never heard of them if im honest,they defo look very hound looking going by those ears,smart looking dog though and looks and sounds like its a good worker.
Sounds as though they have a really high prey drive. I would hope that no-one would think of importing them to the UK with the hopes of making money, just because they look a bit different. :-(
Me to, it would be a shame for that to happen. Though the breed is quite rare, which maybe an advantage in this case. Less chance that the wrong kind of person over here, could know of them. Would be nice if there were some in this country, in correct hands of course. Though, I do imagine that there are the wrong sort of owners for these dogs in the usa to.
The Blue Lacy is a cur dog that has been bred since the mid 1800's. they are a hunting and sport dog. I have 5 of these dogs
this the link to the Official Registry. [mod edit] Very good group of people who are very picky where they are sold and that they have a job to do like herd cattle or blood trail. That standard posted above is not accurate. It came for a splinter group the NLDA
Someone at my dog park has one. Lovely temperament. Very sweet dog. She says they are the texas state dog, any truth to that podunkheaven?
Thanks for the link. What are your dogs like to live with, temperament health etc. Also, any chance of some pics of your dogs.
The two dogs above are mine here is the link to my flickr site with two more of my dogs baying a coon. This is Gracie and Roci Very good tempered dogs. They do need alot of exercise because they are a high drive dog. Not many health issues unless you line breed them too closely. They have the "DD" gene and that recessive gene doesn't do well closely line bred. Great with kids as long as the kids respect them but that is the case with all dogs I guess
Gorgeous dogs. The only coons you'll find in this country, are the one's people keep as pets, or in zoo's. They sound like a good all round family/working dog. Do they come in any other coat lengths or colours apart from the standard blue/red/tri colour.
Lovely dogs. Would the darker one in the baying pic be classed as a red or a blue. She looks almost chocolate.
She is a blue. The blue has different shades from silver to gun metal grey Their coats are very short and tight and they do make great all around working dogs. Mine blood trail deer, (they would hog hunt if I would let them...would rather not have them mutilated) and they dog cow work.
