Going from hounds to Lacy's would not be easy for me. Rough ,short range , dog aggressive. Hunted a little with a guy who had an all Lacy pack. Had a few my self. Never had the notion to try another.
I agree. From one extreme to the other. You should call that guy that HAD the all Lacy pack and see what he thinks of them now that he's hunting a pair of dogs off my yard.
I can honestly say that of all the people I've hunted with, and dogs I've seen hunt over the years that a Lacy is the only particular breed in which I have never seen one that impressed me (as a hog dog). Someday I hope to, though.
