Protect, Preserve, Promote

At the Bull Terrier Club of America, we believe our responsibility extends beyond any individual dog. As one of our longtime members once said, it is not my Bull Terrier or your Bull Terrier, but the Bull Terrier. Guided by that principle, we are committed to the careful stewardship of this extraordinary breed—preserving its distinctive type, sound temperament, and enduring vitality. Through mentorship, education, and a welcoming community of dedicated fanciers, we support the Bull Terrier in all the roles it can fulfill: loyal companion, spirited athlete, and unmistakably singular member of the canine world.

Welcome to our world!

Just few things that keep our members busy

The Bull Terrier has proven itself in many different areas in addition to making you laugh every day.

BULL TERRIER RESCUE

A new family member is waiting to become part of your family

Help our rescue organization do their incredible work. The health well-being and living conditions of the Bull Terrier breed are inherently of concern to the BTCA, its members and all who share in the goals and objective of the BTCA.

Consider making a donation, joining us and becoming part of our family. You’ll realize that Bull Terriers are like other dogs, just way better.

Performance

There is more to a Bull Terrier than its good looks. The objective of the Performance committee is to encourage members to enjoy the many wonderful dog sports and activities available to them and their Bull Terriers.

Conformation Shows

A conformation dog show evaluates purebred dogs on how closely they adhere to their breed standard, rather than acting as a simple beauty pageant. The goal is to assess breeding stock for structure, temperament, and movement. Winners gain points toward championships, progressing from breed level to group, and finally, Best in Show.
