Registering Your Lacy Puppy: Helping the Lacy Breed

When registering your Lacy puppy, you are not only investing in your pet’s future but also contributing to the overall well-being of the Lacy breed. The Lacy is a unique working game dog with the natural capabilities of blood trailing, herding, and baying. The Lacy brothers bred these instincts into them in Marble Falls, Texas in the 1800s. This provided farmers and ranchers with another reliable working hand on their ranches/farms.

Whether you plan to breed or not, there are several significant reasons why registering your Lacy puppy is so vital.

The Lacy Game Dog Registry (LGDR) is a Closed Stud Book and recognized as the original and official Blue Lacy Registry by the State of Texas. Each breeder adds their unique bloodline to the breed, which enhances the overall health and vigor of the breed. Preserving genetic diversity in dog breeds is crucial for maintaining their long-term health and adaptability.
