Bulldog Club of Canada (BCC)

The Bulldog Club of Canada (BCC) serves as the premier national organization dedicated to the welfare and promotion of the purebred Bulldog. While the organization in its current iteration as the Bulldog Club of Canada was established in 2016, it carries a rich legacy rooted in the Bulldog Club of Central Canada, which has been in operation since the 1930s. This transition reflects a commitment to expanding the club's reach and influence to support the breed on a national scale.

Core Mission and Objectives

The primary mission of the BCC is to bring together a diverse community of Bulldog admirers, enthusiasts, owners, and breeders. The club is steadfast in its dedication to the following pillars:

• Protect: Ensuring the long-term health and well-being of the breed across the country.

The club encourages members to engage their dogs in various disciplines, showcasing the breed's adaptability. Members and their Bulldogs are active in:

Membership and Community

The club fosters a collaborative environment for those interested in the breed. Membership is structured to ensure quality and commitment, with specific processes for renewals and new applicants.
