Texas Blue Lacy Breed Description

The Blue Lacy is a breed of dog that originated in Texas in the mid 1800s. Governor Rick Perry signed the legislastion adopting the blue lacy as "...the official State Dog Breed of Texas" on June 18, 2005. The name of the dog has nothing to do with it's behavior;it was named after the Lacy family of Burnet County, Texas. The dog was noted by the Lacy's to be a coyote, greyhound and scenthound mixture. The dog's natural herding instincts enable it to work everything from chickens in the barnyard to the rankest Texas Longhorn cattle.
