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 .
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
