Bull Terrier Club of America

President's Message

​

Welcome to the Bull Terrier Club of America, Inc. webpage. We are your link to the wonderful world of Bull Terriers!

​

The BTCA is a parent club member of the American Kennel Club, the country's oldest and largest purebred dog registry. We are a club of Bull Terrier lovers who get together to host shows, provide educational information, and support various events throughout the country.

​

BTCA members are active in a broad range of dog sports. We compete in breed competitions; obedience, Rally, and agility trials, provide public service, and enjoy canine companionship and skills to maintain the integrity of the breed. Many club members have certified therapy dogs that visit nursing homes, hospitals, and many are involved in breed rescue to help dogs that need new homes.

​

Silverwood weekend in October is our premier event featuring up to 5 days of shows, including confirmation, performance, sweepstakes, futurity, a health clinic and educational events. 

See our show schedule for a complete list of Bull Terrier supported events.

​

Our Breeder Directory includes club members who provide breed information, have occasional litters, and/or have occasional adult dogs to place in new homes. Check out the breeder referral page for a list of breed contacts.

​

Most club members are pet owners first and show dog owners second. Whether you have just pets or pets and show dogs, we hope you will consider joining us. See the membership page for more information.

​

We hope you enjoy our website.
