Our History & Heritage

1989

ABBA Registry Founded

The ABBA Registry was founded to preserve and protect the purebred lineage of the Alapaha Blue-Blood Bulldog. The ABBA began with a careful documentation of existing bloodlines and established strict breeding standards.

1999

Closed Studbook

After ten years of careful evaluation and documentation, the ABBA made the critical decision to close the studbook permanently. This ensures that only dogs with documented ABBA/CRK lineage could be registered, preserving the breed's genetic integrity.

2000s

Standards Development

Throughout the 2000s, the breed standard was revised, health testing requirements, and established the Code of Ethics that all ABBA and IABBR members must follow. These standards ensure responsible breeding practices and breed preservation.

2012

IABBR Establishment

The International Alapaha Blue-Blood Bulldog Registry (IABBR) was established in 2012 following the dissolution of the ABBA, specifically to serve dedicated breeders of the CRK strain and other purebred Alapaha Blue-Blood Bulldogs. Founded on principles of breed preservation and genetic integrity, the IABBR implements strict breeding protocols and maintains professional registry standards to ensure the continued purity and heritage of this distinguished breed.
