Lacey

Super light on her feet and fast, Lacey is an important part of our team. She is quiet, not excitable and happy to please. Although we were running her in lead last winter, I think that Lacey is better suited to a position like swing or team: for now, at least. Lacey has a very fast trot, but when she decides to lope, it is more of a leaping action.

Lacey is the sister to Horton and mother of Triangle and Baby and Dart is their father. She does not make an extremely attentive mother since she was leaving her puppies for long periods of time on the second day. It is also Lacey who killed both of Jenn's goats. It doesn't look like she has it in her, does it? It may be because it was her first litter, but Lacey was not at all interested in her puppies and quit feeding them around week 4 or so, prefering instead to confound Jenn in her numerous escapes from the barn she was in.

Lacey comes from Brian McDougall and was also a shy dog when we got her. She will now run to see both Jenn and I and she is very gentle around Hunter. Lacey is a dog that we can let off the chain and expect her to remain fairly close to us when we go for walks in the off season. She is also a whiz with a snap. She has figured out how to undo both the regular brass/bronze snaps and the Swedish snaps so she now has two Swedish snaps that oppose each other.
