Alapaha means Alligator i believe..... which is a good name for them lol we call Kaydee "The White Spotted Gator"
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.
