Are Blue Lacys good with cats?

Yes, Blue Lacys can be good with cats, but especially with this breed, it really depends on the individual dog and how they’ve been socialized. Since Blue Lacys have a strong prey drive due to their hunting dog background, they might see smaller animals, like cats, as something to chase. However, if they’re raised with cats from a young age or introduced to them properly, many Blue Lacys can learn to coexist peacefully with feline family members.

To introduce a Blue Lacy to a cat, start by keeping them in separate spaces and swap their scents using items like blankets or toys. After a few days, let your Blue Lacy sniff around the door or barrier where the cat is staying to get used to their scent. Once they’re comfortable, you can move on to a supervised meet and greet, gradually building a positive relationship between them.
