EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

    Who has working alapaha bulldogs??  I wouldn't mind owning one, but the price tags I've seen on some is ridiculous!!
2-3K for an untested dog or pup??? Crazy. If anyone has any, I'd love to talk to you and see what you got.

(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/12/10/14/ara8a7uh.jpg)(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/12/10/14/5ytenaju.jpg)these are some pics of my alapaha he is a beast and i wouldn't trade him for no dog or sell him for nothing he is our super dog. We proved out some AB dogs for a breeder in Arizona 3 dogs and all are really good but they can't compare to my alapaha he's the best catch dog ive ever hunted behind I will have some pups here in the near future from my tiny x tequilla call me if you are intrested Mike 362-548-3916 next year ill have some pure alapahas I will be getting out of cali from a breeder to breed my tiny to ill keep you posted thanks

361-548-3916 sorry I got the area code wrong lol

   That is a good looking dog. Look forward to talking to you soon.

These are cool dogs was reading some of the history on them which is one of the more interesting breed histories.

Whats the price on them pups, Mike??

They sell for $1000-2500 papered but like i said I will be breeding the pups that prove out to my alapaha so he should be a happy alapaha lol. I'm going to try and put them in some good working homes were they can do what they do best and that's work. Most people don't realize how smart and how well these dogs work because they are so expensive but i hope to get some out to some guys that hog dog as much as I do so more guys will know how a true alapaha from working stock performs

alapaha blue blood, educate me a little on those dogs if you will. I know nothing about what they are, but they look like a catahoula bulldog bred off the Johnson sort of bulldogs. No offense intended, just trying to learn.

obviously johnson/catahoula bulldog,i read the  papa buck lana lane story many years ago.

no offence but i would rather buy a dogo for that price.

How about a non papered dog?

Just wondering how many working Alapaha's have you owned?

It's supposed to be made of old southern x ab x with some cat no Johnson they say Scott a lot of guys on the west coast have them looking real bully but they r mostly abba dogs I know my alapaha got loose from me lead and all and went and caught a hog at 0.53, he found it himself and after we killed that hog I loaded him up and he had gas to go to the next bay.I've only owned one alapaha Scott but like I said he's the best ive hunted behind i talked to some guys in Europe that run em and they say they are great dogs to, they want me to ship semen from my alapaha over there them guys are all about working dogs over there. Hey Scott I recognize your profile pic from true-grit are you the same guy. I proved out those abs for ewk in Arizona. It's impossible to go off one dog but with the 3 other alapahas that are being sent to me we will be able to know a lil more about em but you know they were breed for working right cow catching, hogs, and slave guarding .

Every alapaha breeder I've talked to just strictly uses for personal protection and guard dogs and things of that sort.

Awesome dog mate!!! Hope you get some nice pups by him.

Yessir, that's me. Sounds like your Alapaha suits you.

Chris (EWK) is a good guy, really interested doing right by the dogs.

As far as the historical uses for the AB (OSW,WEB, or whatever someone is calling them) or Alapaha...I don't put much stock in those created (for lack of a better term) histories. I think a good bit of it was made up just to peddle pups. Just my opinion, but I believe they were probably just farm dogs that served a variety of purposes depending on the owner.

Anyhow, I wish you success with your future breeding program ;)

Yes, Chris and Jane are great people with some really nice hybrids they all are good working dogs that strive to please, and as far as the history goes the breed was started way back and just like In AB'S some people put a lil of this and that to get the genetic make up and build and looks they are striving for I can say from what I've read they were farm dogs that had to perform on a daily basis for there owners to do whatever task that was needed anyways thanks Scott and rockin roo

So you going tO hook me up with a pup??

alapaha blue sorry never got back to you my male is papered the hole nine yards an he is a beast on a hog my best catch dog  i have
an the best i have ever owned havent seen a dog move like he does for his size not saying he is the best out there but he is good

Hey drew you got pick of that alapha.  Would love to see em if you do.  Mike is that the blue merle you were talking about in cali.  That's pete's bulldog stock?  If so, Pete's a cool dude. 

Ya Juan, Peters a cool dude with some really nice dogs i can't wait to get them pups working I'm really looking forward to it bro and drew I'm glad you got him working for you bud and i feel the  same about my alapaha  call me up some time we can talk more im not much for typing and not even close 22

lol, I don't mean free, im willing to pay, but a working mans price.  I remember when someone hooked you up with Tiny.  WOW, we tend to forget.

lol. That's why in most cases any dogs I produce stay within my small circle of folks.

I forget nothing ruben and i agree mrs Louisiana they will mostly stay around the people I know and trust.

lol, still the same ol' Mike.

.

That's right bud I haven't changed and I'm always willing to help out a good friend like the way I fed it dogs when u was out of town or helping u with your dog issues I'm the same dude.

Well guys I'm so happy to say my alapahas finally made it to Texas I've been so curious to see what they were going to look like and how they were built and they are here now. I am glad to say they are great lookin dogs that have awesome looking bodies they are 15 wks right now and I'm sure they will be  ready around grain season or a little after depending on how there teeth look there mom was a ribbon winner and agility champ so they ot to be good winded dogs (http://img.tapatalk.com/d/12/10/22/u9e9eve5.jpg)

met a guy in amarillo this week that has a big dark brindle female ,she is a looker too

mike them are good lookin pups....i know you,ll get them goin right.. 

I heard good things about them but never owned one. The top breeder is supposed to be Cattle Rustler Kennels out in California. I think the guys name is Ray Coleman. Check their website. Really high priced like 3,000 bucks for a pup. My understanding is that they are a cross of white english bulldogs (early American Bulldogs), catahoula, colby pitbull, and maybe a little cur. Everyone who I know who bought one was happy with the dog, even after spending all those big bucks. Maybe one day if someone remembers me in their will. ha ha.

great mike! glad pete made the decission to send those pups.    like the white head one.  Tiny should make some nice ones with the pups  who make the cut for future working stock.

Thanks guys and ya they are pricey but in my opinion cattle rustlers dogs ain't breed to hunt they are very bully and bowed leged but if you find some that aren't its worth jumping on. There mom was a agility champ and 24" and the dad 25" so they should be some leggy girls can't wait to get em going.
