America’s Blue Lacy Dog Blog

I am hearing more and more about Lacys with health problems such as auto immune deficiency, which is NOT a problem for our breed as a whole. Many if not all breeders do NOT know of the over vaccination issue. Breeders ignore when health problems are reported to them and don’t share the information. I can only assume they don’t want people to think they are producing defective pups. Breeders need to be made aware that most if not all health problems Lacys are having are stemming from vaccinating too young and new owners over vaccinating with a 3 shot whambo combo which is recommended by most vets who don’t know better. Include this warning in your puppy contracts. ABLA breeders have had no reported cases to date and encourage you to do your most to keep it that way by informing your puppy buyers. Over vaccinating can nul and void a health guarantee. If you DO NOT warn your puppy buyers then YOU are responsible for the resulting health issues. Not the unknowing puppy owner. Please pass this information on to everybody you know!

Enlightened veterinarians and pet parents have become increasingly wary of the health risks, and lack of benefits, associated with repeatedly vaccinating dogs after their initial “puppy shots.” Is titer testing the solution to the over-vaccination problem?

Whombo combos, mumbo jumbos: that’s what veterinarians who understand immunology call combination shots. Unlike a vaccine such as rabies, which contains a single virus, combination vaccines contain multiple “modified live” viruses mixed with various bacteria. Think of them as toxic soups, biochemical wolves in sheep’s clothing. When your vet sends out reminders to bring your dog “up to date on shots,” expect the whombo combo. Beware the wolf.

The U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance (USSA) had called upon sportsmen nationwide to contact the maker and distributor of Yellow Tail wine regarding their financial support of the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS). After being besieged by angry consumers, Casella Wines, the Australian producers of Yellow Tail, responded to the criticism by issuing a statement that it will no longer support any lobbying groups.

In mid-March, Brucella canis was laboratory confirmed in a female beagle, the second dog from a Lewis County kennel to abort puppies.

This is a new way to potty train puppies I recently ran across. The highly absorbent litter material is made from paper and wood pulp products.

Blue Lacys stick to you like glue and are not prone to running off or seeking other people for attention. Then there is the gentleness they are known for. Just a few reasons why they make such good service dogs. Want to know more? Here are the requirements of a service dog:

Traditional neonatal resuscitation via “swinging” is a dangerous and potentially lethal practice capable of inducing significant brain trauma in the canine neonate.”

Worms and parasites are a major cause of all disease. ALL cancer and other diseased patients have worms. 85 to 95% of the human population is carrying around 2-3 pounds of worms in their system and these worms are a major contributor to disease.
