Ask a QuestionAlapaha Blue Blood Bulldog Q&A
I purchased an Alapaha Blue Blood Bulldog about 2 months ago and through some networking I have found out my dogs parents are brother and sister. Should i be worried? He is registered, and is a part of the family. Should I watch for certain health issues?
Yes, if you plan to breed your dog, you should be concerned for defects in the pups. Who did you buy from?
How is the dog with a smaller breed, like chihuahuas? I was thinking about getting a Alapaha pup and raise it with my dogs.
They are wonderful, as long as you stick with the original standard. They get along with cats and smaller animals alike...
My ABBB was excellent around all animals except coons...When he was a pup he watched the coons on my porch run our cat off and he never forgot that.
When he was older he ran the coons off so our cats could eat in peace.
He died last year at 16....Still miss him!
Do Alapaha blue dogs have any gentic promblems
At twelve years old mine had "twisted stomach or bloat" I rushed him to the emergency room they removed part of his stomach and another organ and then stapled his stomach up he lived 4 more years.
Yes, they can have problems, just like any other dog breed.
When possible, get dogs from people who have their dogs eyes CERF cleared, or at least checked by a vet.
If there was a breeder who did OFA or PennHip, to, just for extra care, that would be great.
Many people think they don't have health problems.
But this is said for several dog breeds, and there are very few, if any breeds that do not have health problems.
If you can't find a breeder that does health testing, then do it yourself. Basic eye checks, BAER testing, and, if you wish, PennHip tests.
If you stick with breeders that breed ful bred Alapaha's- without breeds like American Bulldogs, or Boxers mixed in- they only genetic problem that can excist is eyelid inversion. This breed was created by Lana Lou Lane out of Old Southern Whites (also called Old English/White English), the Catahoula Bulldog, and a small amount of the Colby Pitbull. For this reason, outcrosses can be done with these breeds. Any other breeds can cause genetic problems, like hip dysplacia. So just stick with full bred Alapaha's and ask breeders to confirm by E-mail that no other breeds were used in their breeding programs. This way, you can hold them accountable.
