Does the Alapaha have an undershot bite and if so does this hamper its biting ability?
Yes, and this is very much a part of its rich BULLDOG heritage. You’ll never see a dog with a brachycephalic muzzle without it. The correct undershot of the Alapaha is explained in detail at www.alapahabluebloodbulldogs.org standards page. Many dog men have debated this until they’ve turned blue in the face. My take on it is simple, the original bull baiting bulldog was brachycephalic based on countless drawings & wood carvings and it had no problem holding on to a 1200 pound ornery bull. Of course the bite and length of the undershot needs to be minimal for its functionality.
