Temperament |
The Otto Bulldog is outgoing and friendly, yet a natural family guard dog that is at home in the country or in the city. Respectful and
very trainable. They will fight to
the death to defend their owners and make excellent companion dogs. Excellent
with and protective of children. These are active, athletic and mindful dogs with a lot of heart. The objective in training this
dog is to achieve a pack leader status. It is a natural instinct for a dog to have an order in their pack. When we humans live with dogs, we become their pack. The entire pack cooperates
under a single leader. Lines are clearly defined and rules are set. Because a dog communicates his displeasure with growling and eventually biting, all other humans MUST be higher up in the order than the dog. The humans must be the ones making the decisions, not the dogs. That is the only way your relationship with your dog can be a complete success. |

| Origin |
The Alapaha Blue Blood Bulldog was established and maintained by Lana Lou Lane during the 1980's. The breed maintained a relative consistency up until the time of Lana's house fire when she lost Marcelle and was severely burned herself. After this time, the breed took a turn for the worse and continued spiraling down until Lana's death in 2001. Since that time, the ABBB has fallen out of the control of the Lane family, now no longer representing Lana's vision. These changes are the direct result of the ABBB being cross-bred with other bull-breeds such as the Olde English Bulldog, English Bulldog, and American Bulldog to name a few. The original standard first written by Lana has been modified time and again to allow for these drastic changes in the breed. After many years of contemplation, Ray Lane decided it was finally time to return the Otto to it's original form and function, like the Ottos belonging to Papa Buck Lane. The Otto is the 'Ol timey plantation dog of Lana Lou Lane's grandfather, that she attempted to perpetuate, yet went astray by infusing various breeds. The Otto Bulldog redevelopment program is a recreation of Papa Buck's Ol timey plantation dog using the same local stock of White English Bulldog used by Lana's Lou Lane to create her breed, the Alapaha Blue Blood Bulldog. The Otto Bulldog does not include outcrosses to Colby Pits, Catahoula, Olde English Bulldogs, or American Bulldogs, among others. The Otto Bulldog is a completely separate breed developed by Ray Lane. An official standard for the Otto Bulldog has been established by Mr. Lane in order to return them to their original form and function. The Otto Bulldog is recognized and registered with the Backwoods Bulldog Club. Registration of purebred Otto Bulldogs is strictly enforced by Ray Lane and the BBC. |
