THE BULLDOG CLUB
INCORPORATED
(FOUNDED 1875)
The Bulldog Club Incorporated is the oldest breed club in the world and as such, is the Mother of all other bulldog clubs. Since its inception the club has justified its existence by its service to the breed in many ways.
The club holds a Championship show in March of each year which attracts huge entries and many overseas visitors. In 1975 it held its Centenary show which was judged by the late president of the club, Mrs. M.K. Barnard, probably the most well known and knowledgeable lady in the breed in her era. She is perhaps most remembered for the Achievements of her bitch Champion Noways Chuckles being the only bulldog to date to take the honour of best in show at Crufts.
In November the Bulldog of the Year competition takes place to which every C.C. winner of the previous 12 months is invited to take part. This is the only place one can see all the top winners taking part in the competition together, and this is the one title all serious exhibitors want to win. As well as many overseas visitors and exhibitors, who return year after year, judges and exhibitors from other breeds also attend in great numbers.
The club also produces a fully illustrated magazine The Bulldog twice a year. Many of the photographs are coloured which adds to the attraction. It contains articles, Show reports, news from other areas and countries, photographs of all the top dogs etc. as well as a comprehensive list of breeders and a stud dog list. This is sent to 44 different countries of the world at the present time.
The club has various bulldog related articles for sale which perhaps best appreciated on our clubware stall at our shows. Video tapes of the Bulldog of the Year competitions are available in any world system required.
Booklets extremely useful to novices and breeders are Buy me a Bulldog by Zelia Lewis dealing with all aspects of raising and training bulldog, whelping, the use of stud dogs, common ailments etc.
