Hog Hunting and Baying with Lacy Dogs
Originally called Lacy Hog Dogs, this breed was created to find and gather feral pigs
in the Texas Hill Country. Lacys have the perfect mix of agility, intelligence and
instinct to properly work wild hogs. They make driven strike and bay dogs that are usually
short to medium in range with a warm nose. Lacys are silent on track, making it easier for them to
surprise their quarry, but have the stamina to stick with running pigs. Once they have
a hog bayed up, Lacys are gritty enough to control it. Their compact size and nimble speed
keeps them safe from sharp tusks. The instinctive skills of a well-bred Lacy were established through
generations of selective breeding by working ranchers.
