The Dogs

The Campbell ranch is home to a variety of purebred and mixed hunting dogs. Jerry’s favorite breed for catching hogs is the Walker Hound: “I’ve been fathering a pack of hounds since I was twelve years old. I’ve worked with thousands, but the best hunting dog I’ve come across is the Walker Hound. They’re a derivative of the American Foxhound, which George Washington helped to perfect. The Walker Hound is the quarter horse of the hound breed.” The newest addition to the Campbell household is Doce, a Blue Lacy Game Dog, also known as a Lacy Hog Dog. Lacys are intelligent, intense, active and alert. Originally bred to work with feral hogs, Lacys’ natural herding instincts make them an excellent all-around working breed for ranchers, cowboys, hunters and trappers. The decline of the family-owned ranching industry, as well as the introduction of technology such as all-terrain vehicles, has brought the Lacy breed near extinction. However, their rediscovery as a masterful hunting companion has dramatically increased the demand for Lacys. They are now the most common breed used by United States Trappers and are the official Texas State Dog.
