How is the dog with a smaller breed, like chihuahuas? I was thinking about getting a Alapaha pup and raise it with my dogs.
Do Alapaha blue dogs have any gentic promblems
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.
