Alapaha Blue Blood Bulldog Information
The Alapaha Blue Blood Bulldog was developed in southern Georgia in the Alapha River region by Papa Buck Lane in the 1800's. The mission was to bring back the plantation dog of Southern Georgia that was nearly extinct.
These dogs were used on plantations as watch dogs as well as a livestock dog. Just one of these dogs are capable of guard work and working in the woods. After the death of Papa Buck in 1943, his family kept the breeding program going.
Designed from Bulldog stock, they resemble an exaggerated Bulldog with a broad head and natural drop ears. They have a prominent muzzle and eyes. the Alapaha Blue Blood Bulldog is mainly designed for security and companionship.
They are very demanding of attention and not at all suitable for living outdoors. They adore their family and do well with children. They will guard their family and home to the death. They are only aggressive in defense and tend to be naturally suspicious of strangers. These dogs do best when treated as a member of the family, and not as a working dog.

Their coat is short and can be blue merle, brown merle, or red merle, all trimmed in white or chocolate and white. Their eyes can be blue or brown mixed with blue.
