Hit the nail on the head about what makes up Lacy dogs.

I have had a lot of emails on just what I think about a Lacy dog as a hog dog.

I myself am not a Lacy expert and don't claim to be but I know what a good hog dog is . I have hunted with many many many Lacy dogs due to me and Tom being such good friends threw a lot of years. To me the Lacy dog is a shorter range hunter most I have seen hunt out in the range of 250 - 300 yds but there are some like my Bell dog that will hunt from around 250-750 some were n there. From my experience the Lacy's are pretty dang gritty kinda dogs you run three four these dogs they will take care of a pretty good size hog themselves 200 lbs and under are for bigger hogs they will catch with the catch dog. Very very smart dogs they are not dummies they catch on fast and they are very easy to trash break. The Lacy dogs will start up fast but they mature late by this I mean they will be baying hogs at a young young age and finding hogs a good one at 12 to 18 months old if hunted right with the right dogs. What I mean by maturing late is if you got a good one at two years old do not think that is the best he are she is gonna get because if they are doing that great at two years old doing it on his own then you will not see your best dog till he are she is four to five years old thats when they really tend to turn into the best dogs from what I have seen. They can take a track are they can wind my Bell dog is a great wind dog but will also put her nose on the ground and find one . I think she is better at winding than tracking myself which I like a lot . They are very hot type of dogs and don't take much off of another dog they will stand their ground and sometimes are grouchy as hell to be honest with you. Once on a hog a good one has got a ton of stick and just as much endurance and stamina very fast dogs , very quick dogs. They tend to be a one man kinda dog and will hunt for you just off the relationship you and the dog has they aim to please . Now the drawbacks as far as I have seen Stubborn, love to piss you off but will make it up on the long run if you can stick with them, A little hot headed sometimes . What I have learned from them is this if they are hunted with good dogs and hunted right and you have the patiences to put up with some of the chit they give you in the long run they are some very very good dogs. My Lacy dog Bell and I have a love hate relationship .
She can make me so mad I will spit nails and the next thing you know turn right around and make me proud as a new born poppa it has happened a thousand times just ask any of my hunting buddies that have hunted with her .

Anyway just my take on the Lacy dogs anybody feel free to chime in !
