I found these articles over the winter when I was researching the history of Lacy Dogs. It's amazing what you find when you research "Lacy Dog," which was their original name, rather than "Blue Lacy," which caught on in the 90s to mass market them as rare novelties
I actually have a really fascinating article from the 1941 Cattleman that I think you guys will love. And I have another cool article focusing on Lacys as hog dogs from the 50s. I'll get them up later today.
