Everyone has covered so many good points on the two breeds I hunt and love, cats and lacy's. Its sad to see a great workin breed going to folks that know nothing about their reason for being created. Those folks really need to do the research on the lacy, maybe you should foward some of your literature to them TrueBlue
. I'm proud to say that all my dogs, lacy's, cats, bd, and pit are all working dogs, and are good at it and absouloutely love what they were BRED to do. I hate to see people get burned from a good breed by getting a dog from a non-working background, all I can say is don't judge from the worst specimens. I've got no problems from either of my lacy's, my male will hunt his tail off, all day. He will find his own and is gritty as he!!, has the scars for proof, and my female is just the same will hunt, find and bay, not quite as gritty as my male but has scars herself....But both of mine came from hard working homes and breeders that strive and are proud of thier working dogs... just my 40cents
