I won't suggest for or against any breeder but I will suggest that you do your homework and only consider a pup whose parents excel at the discipline which you intend the pup to perform.
Not just taking the breeders word for it, make them prove it. Request pictures, not just one, two or more years worth, enough to justify a proven track record. Also ask for references of both puppy buyers AND tracking clients.
The Lacy has become a novelty breed (which may or may not be part of your reason for wanting one) and you wouldn't believe how many people throw any two unrelated dogs together, their only objective being a litter of registered blue pups.
That's not to say that you cant get a good tracking dog (or what ever discipline) out of two pets. You simply have better odds with a puppy whose parents are both proven to express your desired traits.
