This is Josh's dog,Dubya. The Texas Blue Lacy Dog is the State Dog of Texas.
They were bred in the 1850's by the Lacy brothers about an hour from my ranch to be hog and herding dogs. They are a wolf,scent hound and greyhound mix.
He just never quits,always ready more and 100 % fearless .
"Ain't right for a Lacy to be where there ain't a hog. They need a chance to do what we've bred 'em to do. Shucks, I'd rather shoot old Rip dead than see him a town dog."

This was when he was a couple months old. Easy to see where the "Blue" in Blue Lacy comes from.
