Alapha Blue Blood Bulldog
The origin of the Alapaha Blue Blood dates to the
1800s. Developed in the Alapaha River region of southern Georgia by PaPa Buck
Lane, the breed was initially used as a plantation watchdog and cattle dog. Like
the American Bulldog, the Alapaha is a descendent of the original Bulldogs that came to the U.S. from England in the 1700s. The breed was established in 1986 by the American Research Foundation, in the working dog category. From 1986 to 2001, ARF has registered or pedigreed just under 700 Alapahas.
