PaPa
Buck Lane |
The
Blue Blood Bull Dog is the result of many years of effort
toward rescuing an almost extinct breed, the old timey
plantation dog of the Alapaha River region of South Georgia.
They were very large, males were usually approximately
90 pounds, very protective of their property, that being
whatever their master instructed them as theirs to keep
gaurd over. They were very possesive of their "family,"
highly intelligent and easily trained. |

My
Grandaddy, PaPa Buck Lane, always had an "Otto."
Otto looked after family, house, estate, and when in
the woods at work, he kept watch over that operation.
PaPa Buck Lane was killed December 17, 1943 by a train.
Otto was found on many occasions sitting on PaPa Buck
Lane's grave. How did he know which grave? All we know
is that Otto continued his ever faithful duties to his
"undying" master. He continued his duties
until an untimely death from a broken heart. Otto would
only allow family to come to the grave.
One
Otto took a wife and moved her in under the maid's quarters.
He carried her food from the "Big House."
He continued even after the babies were born. As they
got older, he would ease them out, one at a time, to
show them around and for short "kindergarten guard
and obedience" classes. So, see you really don't
need professional guard and obedience training.
