ok everyone that answered i need a written one page report on the history, blood lines, and traits of the chosen breed. due friday!! thanks.. lol just kidding.
Just for laughs an grins (and im board at work
)...Like Lacyman stated I prefer the lacy. It was originally bred to round up an drive feral hogs back in the 1800's. the original breeding is unknown but from what we have gathered through talking to the relatives of the Lacy brothers it was a composite of sight hound though to be grey hound, sent hound thought to be English Shepard, an wolf. Yes wolf because there were no records of coyotes in tx tell the 1900's so it had to be the wolf blood in the lacy that gives it its yellow eyes. the traits were simple, form to function. with a short coat(blue, red an tri) to help with coping with the tx heat, short compact body for speed an agility, an heart that will go all day an still ask what more do you need. they have been called territorial, stand offish, an aggressive. But any one who has ever been around them can tell you in most cases yes they are 1 person owners but they will give that owner there all an then some! the breed was established originally as a working herding breed for hogs but as it has progressed it has moved to be more versatile to include trapping,blood trailing, obedience, search an rescue. I have been very happy with the Brooks line of Lacys. In my opinion they are as true to what a lacy should be in temperament an working ability! there are many good lines out there, I have been impressed with John Wybles lines for the bay pen.I am still establishing my own lines an like to see different lines all the time. As long as I am able I will always own at least 1 lacy, it will be a sad day in deed when I will not be able to have one of these amazing animals.
