The Lacy Dog or Blue Lacy Dog is a breed of working dog that originated in Texas in the mid-19th century.
 The Lacy was first recognized in 2001 by the Texas Senate.
 In Senate Resolution No. 436, the 77th Legislature honored the Lacy as "a true Texas breed".
 In June 2005, Governor Rick Perry signed the legislation adopting the Blue Lacy as "the official State Dog Breed of Texas".
 As expected, the vast majority of Lacy dogs are found in Texas.
 However, as the breed becomes more well recognized, there are breeding populations being established across the United States, Canada, and most recently in Europe.
Cryoconservation of animal genetic resources is a strategy wherein samples of animal genetic materials are preserved cryogenically.
 Animal genetic resources, as defined by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, are "those animal species that are used, or may be used, for the production of food and agriculture, and the populations within each of them.
 These populations within each species can be classified as wild and feral populations, landraces and primary populations, standardised breeds, selected lines, varieties, strains and any conserved genetic material; all of which are currently categorized as Breeds."
 Genetic materials that are typically cryogenically preserved include sperm, oocytes, embryos and somatic cells.
 Cryogenic facilities are called gene banks and can vary greatly in size usually according to the economic resources available.
 They must be able to facilitate germplasm collection, processing, freezing, and long term storage, all in a hygienic and organized manner.
 Gene banks must maintain a precise database and make information and genetic resources accessible to properly facilitate cryoconservation.
 Cryoconservation is an "ex situ" conservation strategy that often coexists alongside "in situ" conservation to protect and preserve livestock genetics.
 Cryoconservation of livestock genetic resources is primarily done in order to preserve the genetics of populations of interest, such as indigenous breeds, also known as local or minor breeds.
 Material may be stored because individuals shared specific genes and phenotypes that may be of value or have potential value for researchers or breeders.
 Therefore, one of the main goals remains preserving the gene pool of local breeds that may be threatened.
 Indigenous livestock genetics are commonly threatened by factors such as globalization, modernization, changes in production systems, inappropriate introduction of major breeds, genetic drift, inbreeding, crossbreeding, climate change, natural disasters, disease, cultural changes, and urbanization.
 Indigenous livestock are critical to sustainable agricultural development and food security, due to their: adaptation to environment and endemic diseases, indispensable part in local production systems, social and cultural significance, and importance to local rural economies.
 The genetic resources of minor breeds have value to the local farmers, consumers of the products, private companies and investors interested in crossbreeding, breed associations, governments, those conducting research and development, and non-governmental organizations.
 Therefore, efforts have been made by national governments and non-governmental organizations, such as the Livestock Conservancy, to encourage conservation of livestock genetics through cryoconservation, as well as through other "ex situ" and "in situ" strategies.
 Cryogenic specimens of livestock genetic resources can be preserved and used for extended periods of time.
 This advantage makes cryoconservation beneficial particularly for threatened breeds who have low breed populations.
 Cryogenically preserved specimens can be used to revive breeds that are endangered or extinct, for breed improvement, crossbreeding, research and development.
 However, cryoconservation can be an expensive strategy and requires long term hygienic and economic commitment for germplasms to remain viable.
 Cryoconservation can also face unique challenges based on the species, as some species have a reduced survival rate of frozen germplasm.
East Seal Dog is an uninhabited islet of the British Virgin Islands in the Caribbean.
 It is located in a smaller sub-group of islands referred to as the Dog Islands, or more commonly, "The Dogs".
 Other islets in The Dogs include Little Seal Dog Island, West Dog Island and George Dog Island, all of which are to the northwest of Virgin Gorda.
Uncle Earl's Hog Dog Trials is an annual Hog Dog Baying Event held in the third weekend of March in Winnfield, Winn Parish, Louisiana at the Winn Parish Fair Grounds involving boars and various breeds of bay dogs, including Catahoula Leopard Dogs, Blackmouth Cur, Blue Lacy, and others.

The western crowned pigeon, also known as the common crowned pigeon or blue crowned pigeon ("Goura cristata") is a large, blue-grey pigeon with blue lacy crests over the head and dark blue mask feathers around its eyes.
 Both sexes are almost similar but males are often larger than females.
 It is on average 70 cm (28 in) long and weighs 2,100 grams (4.6 lbs).
The Seskar Seal Dog ("Seiskarinhyljekoira") is an extinct dog breed from Finland that was recently recreated.
 The modern dogs are not direct descendants of the original breed.
 Moreover, they are not used for the same purpose as the original breed.
 The original breed is typically called Seskar Seal Dog and the modern version Seskar (or Seiskari) Dog.
 Some 200 individuals in Finland represent the modern breed.
George Dog is an uninhabited island of the British Virgin Islands in the Caribbean.
 It is located in a smaller sub-group of islands referred to as "The Dogs" (which include Little Seal Dog Island and West Dog Island) to the northwest of Virgin Gorda.

 It is located in a smaller sub-group of islands referred to as the Dog Islands, or more commonly, "The Dogs".
 Other islets in The Dogs include Little Seal Dog Island, East Seal Dog Island, West Dog Island and George Dog Island, all of which are to the northwest of Virgin Gorda.
West Seal Dog is an uninhabited islet of the British Virgin Islands in the Caribbean.
