Basil

Meet handsome Basil!  Basil is a Blue Lacy/Labrador/hound mix. 

Basil is a gentle, soulful boy. Basil is intelligent and dedicated and responds very well to training and verbal corrections.  The biggest of his litter, Basil is a handsome dog—well-formed with a black coat and white markings (his pictures don’t do him justice).  Basil is energetic, but not wild and does great with other dogs and children.

Basil was born on October 6, 2010 and will probably weigh between 50-60 lbs. when full grown.

Blue Lacys are the official state dog of Texas and the only breed to have originated in Texas. Originally bred to drive/herd cattle and hogs on Texas ranches, they are rumored to have originated from greyhound, scent hound and coyote stock. The book, Old Yeller, is said to have been based on a Blue Lacy. Gentle, energetic and easily trained, Lacys are highly prized for their intelligence and scent-trailing/herding abilities.
