How could we charge for helping to get the Blue Lacy recognized as a true all American breed? Membership to the Association is free.

All members are working together for the Blue Lacy, to get them recognized so we can compete in what they excel in and are known for; tracking, agility, etc. Since we are all working towards the same goal none of us are in it to make money, therefore; time and services are donated to our cause. We know everyone wants to get these dogs recognized as soon as possible, so it's only $8.00 to register a dog. If it's a litter you are registering it is $8.00. You provide us with the new owner's information for each pup and the pedigrees will be ready to go to those new owners. This covers running costs and is not padding any one persons pocket, but goes into the associations bank account for only association costs. As we get more members and begin to have clubs in various locations membership dues, trial entry fees and administration is left up to the discretion of the individual club administrators and it's members. You can download the forms below.

The American Blue Lacy Preferred Breeders Program

We Feature Live Coverage Of These Recommended Breeders New Litters *if breeders are equipped.

The American Blue Lacy Association offers an exceptional breeders program, combining practical guidelines with high breeding standards to insure the production of quality dogs. The Preferred Breeders Program is an optional program that will facilitate in establishing and maintaining a first class breeding program. We post live video of preferred breeders with litters on the ground, but they of course have to own a web camera. Usually the puppies you are viewing are already spoken for as they tend to have quite the long waiting lists. We are happy to provide you with other ABLA breeders that are expecting to have litters in the very near future. As our puppies are in very high demand we recommend you get on a few puppy waiting lists.

Members of the American Blue Lacy Preferred Breeds Program will have the benefit of references by the ABLA staff as inquires are made on available Blue Lacy puppy/litters.  The ABLA have many inquires which come in via phone, correspondence, emails, and other office contacts.  When customers contact the ABLA looking for responsible breeders in their area that follow the original breed standard, they will be provided with your name as an ABLA Preferred Breeder member.

Proper identification of your dogs is very important and this is an integral part of the Preferred Breeder Program.  As a Preferred Breeder, ABLA will preserve your bloodline and kennel names.  ABLA is fully aware of the importance of protecting your name and will insure that any other ABLA member does not use your bloodline name without your permission.  ABLA Preferred Breeders will receive preferred naming rights.  Preferred Breeders dog’s names cannot be changed without the expressed written consent/permission of that breeder when transferring the dog to a new owner.

You must read, understand and agree to the American Blue Lacy Associations Breeder Code of Ethics when you joined the ABLA.  You must also download and agree to the ABLA Preferred Breeders Program rules and regulations.  The ABLA recognizes the responsibility to preserve and protect the Blue Lacy as a purebred.  We further recognize that the quality and reputation of all American Blue Lacys rests in the hands of their breeders, owners and exhibitors/competitors.  As members of the ABLA we agree to adhere to and are guided by the ABLA code of ethics and the original American Blue Lacy Standard set by the Lacy brothers in the 1800’s. We are the breeders who are working to set to rights this incredible breed with strict breeding standards of only breeding the very best of the Blue Lacys for the betterment of the breed. The ABLA will only use and recognize representatives of the Blue Lacy breed that exhibit these qualities in our representations of the Blue Lacy breed.

The ABLA and its Preferred Breeders Program is working to rectify the damage done by careless breeders not breeding the very best of the Blue Lacy gene pool for the betterment of the breed and cross breeding with other breeds. The Preferred Breeders Program (PBP) is conscientious Blue Lacy breeders with the goal of seeing this incredible breed brought back to the original size and beauty, with the intelligence the breed was once noted for. If you are looking to compete with your Blue Lacy or just want to see the original breed standard adhered to, then the PBP is something you will definitely want to be a part of. Our ultimate goal; to get these Blue Lacys recognized by the AKC with the correct, original standard, breed separation from careless irresponsible breeders and to be allowed to compete in the same venues as other pure bred hounds. We are working with the AKC to be recognized as the “American Blue Lacy” setting us apart from the other mixed breeding's that have resulted in the overly large Blue Lacys lacking the skills, intellect or the beautiful, perfectly proportioned look of the original Blue Lacy.

The Preferred Breeders Program is $50 and requires board approval. It is a matter of ABLA recognizing those breeders that are already producing quality American Blue Lacys and always striving to better the breed. It is not hard to notice these breeders, they are in constant contact with us since they are always looking to better their bloodlines and working to the benefit of the Blue Lacy. We at the ABLA know it is a group effort working towards the betterment of the ABL and getting them recognized as a true all American breed. These are the breeders we are proud to recommend to potential puppy buyers for their exemplary breeding standards and their efforts on behalf of the breed. They always have time to help new breeders get started and have no problem answering questions. If they don't know the answer they will find it or direct you to someone who does. It is the ABLA's honor role of breeders. Members that are either breeding or plan to breed, need to download the application, agree to the breeders standards and Email it in.

	ABLA President– I train my dogs in Obedience, Rally-O and Agility on top of what comes naturally like herding and tracking. I compete in the AKC, CPE, NADAC and ASCA. I am an active member of the Truckie Meadows Dog Training Club, Bonanza Kennel Club, Reno Kennel Club, President of the American Blue Lacy Association and a founder of the Fallon Agility Sports Team. I also compete in these events with my French Bulldogs with the addition of the Conformation ring. My favorite thing to do is pack up the RV and spend the weekend at dog events with my friends and competing with my dogs. That first place ribbon really gives you that great sense of accomplishment and tells you all your hard work has paid off. Just frosting on top of having a fun filled weekend.
