Heard Old Yeller was probably a blackmouth cur but recently heard that it was probably a blue lacy. Heard that the author knew someone who had lacys and wrote about it..they come in blue,blue/tan, red (bright yellow to dark red) Mine is bright yellow. Let me see if I can down load a pic.
His name is Moonshine and he hates coons. I can't find a coonhunter in KS or northern OK yet. He is semi retired from hog hunting due to injuries incurred during a baying and a car hit him breaking his front leg in 4 places costing me $1,400 to get it fixed. Worth every dollar. Vet says he can't run really hard like he used to so I'm looking into trying to turn him into coon dog.
