I just got this in email...shoot me an email (in profile) if you are interested!

Two adorable female puppies that need a good home. Puppies were dumped on current owner in Shiro, Texas. She has cancer and can not keep them. They are fully vaccinated and in very good health. We think they are some sort of Lab mix.

O.G.

One on the left looks like a Red colored BlueLacy. (Blue Lacy's actually come in Red, tri-colored and "blue" I'd have to see him up close though.

Whiskey Charlie might want to weigh in.

Well this is ironic. I had never heard of a Blue Lacy until this thread, but we had been wondering what kind of dog we adopted from the shelter last summer. Clearly part black Lab, but we couldn't figure out the other part. After Googling Blue Lacy, there is NO DOUBT that is what she is!

I think one of the dogs above is about to be adopted, who wants the other? :-)

I called in about adopting one about an hour and a half ago. Just waiting on them to call back and let me know if I was lucky enough to snag one!

Blue Lacy is the Texas State Dog. They're a subgroup/breed of the Black Mouth Cur. They come in all different colors. The blue ones look like small Weimaraners.



Henry is red with black markings, whereas these puppies have white markings.



Tricolor Blue:


I've also seen them in brindle, but these might be a Catahoula cross.




Blue Laceys are perfect farm dogs (as you can see from the baying pictures, they can be used to work livestock and vermin like hogs and coyotes) and are the perfect boy's companion dog because they're loyal to a fault. The original Ol'Yeller, the one the book was about, was a Black Mouth Cur.

I currently have one Blue Lacy and have had several over the years including a red. They are great dogs for hogs and cows. Old Yeller was indeed based on a Lacy.
I'm not sure if the Brendle colored dogs can be registered as a lacy or not, I think this is the Catahoula mix as you refered to.

Well..."Riley" (the solid pup) came to live at my house Saturday afternoon. She's already learned to sit, heel (almost), and retrieve...

It's been almost 11 years since I lost my best friend, Storm. He was a frisbee, football (really anything that could be thrown) loving dog who did just about everything with me for more than 10 years. He liked everyone, but if I was in sight, no one else in the world existed to him....which is why he "mowed down" several people, other dogs, cats etc. to get to me when he saw me.

I see a lot of Storm in this pup...

I heard yesterday that one of these dogs is still available. Glad S&S got one but the other still needs a home.

C'mon...somebody really should get this pup...you'll thank me later. Her sister is one of the smartest pups I've ever dealt with.

I've trained quite a few dogs over the years, but this one really surprises me how quickly she learns new tasks and commands (she quickly learned how to open my garage door and let herself in, but that's a different story

She has a GREAT temperment!

Tailgate, have you posted/linked this thread to the Outdoor Board?

With Sticks & Stones' feedback this pup ought to be able to find a good home that will offer enough attention and guidance for an energetic, smartie.
Tailgate88

Done, Momlaw! Thanks for that suggestion.
