Compton is a 2 year old Blue Lacy Mix (state dog of Texas; herding dog); most people think Weimaraner (we list by what’s on the rabies cert) when they see him but from a previous Weim Mom, he’s not a Weim. He could be a weim mix but there’s no way of knowing until his DNA gets tested.
He comes to us from our Alabama partner where he was found as a stray. He was in a local shelter for a couple of weeks and then brought to our partner. He was treated for heartworm (shaved patches on back) and is now in Wisconsin ready for the good life.
Energy Level:
Compton is a low to medium energy level pup. Right now he just wants to snuggle up to his foster mom. He’s a tad velcroish but is also independent and will go find his favorite look out spot on top of the kennels.
Training:
Compton has only been in WI for 1 week so we haven’t started commands yet. He knows basic ones like come and off. We’ll start working on other ones like sit and down. Please read the Blue Lacy dog descriptions online to know more about his personality traits as they do fit him. He is sensitive to correction so a firm gentle hand is needed.
This boy is a dream on a leash. No pulling and just walked at a normal pace with the other dogs.
Crate Training:
Compton loves his crate. He can be crated alone or next to the other dogs in the house.
Potty Training:
Compton is fully potty trained.
Grooming:
Compton has a short hair coat. It’s sleek and will require minimal grooming. He’s not a fan of baths and will need work on that or you can keep him clean with grooming wipes.
Dogs:
Compton is dog friendly. He does just fine with the two dogs in his foster home but he’s a little complicated. He will only play with them when he wants to otherwise he will growl/grumble at them. He also will guard his foster mom while sitting on the couch (herding dog that needs a job). He will grumble and air snap at the other dogs. They ignore him and then he will grab their leg and mouth it and then go off and play with them. So he will need to live with a dog that will not take his grumbling seriously or as a challenge but rather respect it but also be confident enough to ignore it. Or he can live alone and soak up all the human affection.
Cats:
Compton lives with 2 cats. They mostly stay upstairs, but when he sees them he wants to chase them. He will jump a cat gate to get to them. He doesn’t want to all out kill them but I wouldn’t trust him with cats. It would take many months to get him cat trained if even possible.
Kids:
Compton has not yet met kids in my presence.
People:
True to the Blue Lacy breed Compton is fiercely loyal. He is a herding dog bred to herd long horn cattle. He met some of his foster mom’s family and did great with them and was cuddling on their laps. But when he didn’t remember that they were here the next morning he protected his foster mom initially until she let him know it was ok.
Compton is an excellent snuggly boy who just needs time to decompress and learn that he’s not on the street anymore. He will need a family that has some dog experience and can set the rules of the house.
