A common misconception
is that Blue Lacys are named
for the color of their coat. The name isn’t
for their color but for the blue gene they
carry. If the blue gene appears recessive
to the naked eye due to the color of the
coat, it still carries the blue gene as will
be readily apparent by the color of the
puppies when bred. This makes it irrelevant if they’re blue, red, tri-colored or gunmetal gray as they all carry the gene and are still “Blue Lacys”.
Except for their hunt and work
ethics, Blue Lacys aren't big barkers, but
they will certainly let you know the second somebody steps on your property. I've found all Blue Lacys to excel this way. You will learn who is going to be at the door by the way your Blue Lacy comes and tells you. The only nuisance barking I've ever had from a Blue Lacy is when they want to be near you and you’ve put them away.
