Are Blue Lacy dogs protective?

Yes, Blue Lacy dogs can be protective, especially of their family members and home. Their strong loyalty and natural guarding instincts make them prone to being attentive and watchful. They’re often alert and responsive to new or unusual situations.

While they are often quite friendly to those they know, this protective nature means they might be cautious or reserved around strangers until they’ve had a chance to assess them. Proper socialization and positive reinforcement training are important to ensure that their protective instincts are balanced with them feeling safe and secure in the world around them.
