"Blue" Lacy

Back in the old days the better dogs you had the more stock you could control and more range you could use which equaled prosperity. Good working dogs were not let out for that reason and there origin was also guarded. It was commen when asked where dogs came from or how they were bred to tell you something that there was no way you would believe it instead of telling you none of your business. I read an old interview of Ody Calhoun of Calhoun Fox Hound family and when asked how they originated, he told the interviewer that God had sent them down to earth to gaurd some tribe in Africa. I believe you could breed wolf, hound and greyhound without adding any cur stockdog blood for a hundred years and not get dogs that worked stock correctly. If it looks like a duck walks like a duck and sounds like a duck, guess what.
