General History : The Alapaha Blue-Blood Bulldog's origin is somewhat undocumented and unverifiable before 1979. Authorities differ so completely about the origin of the Alapaha that the name itself is in dispute.
These dogs were first brought to America in the early 18th century. These Bulldogs were extensively used in the development of many breeds like the American Pit Bull Terrier, Black Mouth Cur and Catahoula Leopard Dog
This type of dog was in danger of extinction until a small group of Southerners in 1979 in an attempt to rescue the Old Tymey Plantation Bulldog of the South founded the Alapaha Blue-Blood Bulldog Association® giving it the aforementioned name and dedicating them to preserving this exceptional type of dog.
The Alapaha is a very confident dog and has no fear of people. They are very easy to train.
