WARNING! Organizations such as the Animal Research Foundation (ARF) have mongrelized the breed with their “MERIT” registration program. Merit registering means you can register pups from an Alapaha bred to an American Bulldog, APBT, Catahoula Leopard Dog, Boxer, English Bulldog, and etc. The Alapaha Blue-Blood Bulldog Association (ABBA) has a closed stud file: If its ancestors were not registered in the original stud book in 1979 it cannot be accepted for registration as an Alapaha Blue-Blood Bulldog. Other organizations such as the NKC, CKC, DRA, FIC and WWKC will allow you to register dogs that don’t have any proven Alapaha heritage. If your dog is not ABBA registered it’s probably not an authentic Alapaha Blue-Blood Bulldog. The Official ABBA Website Is Currently Under Construction. |
