For several generations only the Lane family of Rebecca, Georgia, bred these dogs, and a dog named Otto became the foundation of their programme and registry.1

told by an Alapaha Blue Blood BulldogA day in the life
I wake up and stretch my big ol' paws. My human says I snore like a freight train, but I think it's just my happy rumble. After breakfast, I patrol the yard, my yard!, and chase a squirrel up the fence. Then it's nap time on the cool porch. Later, we go for a slow, proud walk around the block. I greet every neighbor with a wag and a slobbery grin. Back home, I flop on my bed, dreaming of belly rubs and tomorrow's adventures. Life is good.
