The Bull Terrier Fanciers Association is a Bull Terrier Breed Club founded in 1972 to preserve and protect the integrity of the Bull Terrier. We support ethical breeding programs that maintain and improve our purebred breed standard as well as the ongoing good health of the bull terrier. We stand against puppy mills. We stand against Bill 132 in Ontario or the BSL as it has come to be known. We have activities for every Bull Terrier Fancier.

For the Show Fancier…. We host the Bronze Trophy Show Weekend every year on the first weekend in May. This is the largest Bull Terrier show in Canada and among the largest in North America. It is held in near Niagara Falls, Ontario in conjunction with the Seaway Kennel Club Championship All Breed Dog Show. It attracts about 60 of the finest Bull Terriers from all over North America to compete in confirmation classes and trophy events. Seven breeder judges from all over the world are selected to judge these prestigious events. In 2010 the BTFA formally accepted the Miniature Bull Terrier fancy to become part of the club. MBT folks are now included in all BTFA activities & events. As a result, the BTFA has supported the entry of Miniature Bull Terriers at the Seaway Kennel Club Show on Friday & Saturday of the Bronze Trophy Weekend. In 2012, it is expected that we will host a Trophy Show for Miniature Bull Terriers on the Saturday similar to the Bull Terrier Bronze Trophy Show. The BTFA MBT National Specialty is held on Sunday. All these are Canadian Kennel Club Sanctioned Shows and Canadian Championship points are awarded.

For The Rescue Fancier… We are very active and dedicated to Bull Terrier Rescue. We are part of an international network of people & organizations that work to help any Bull Terrier in distress and needing a new forever home. We host a rescue parade as part of the Bronze Trophy Weekend. Our feature event of the year is the “Annual Canada Day Bully Walk & BBQ”, a fundraiser in support of our rescue initiatives held on July 1 every year.

For our Pet People… We have many members who just love their Bull Terrier as their pet and companion. We see all our members get together for a fun day at our Annual Halloween Costume Party & Treat Hunt in late October.

We are a recognized as a Bull Terrier breed club in good standing with the Canadian Kennel Club and are listed in their directory. We are a regional affiliate club of the Bull Terrier Club of America. Although we operate primarily in South Western Ontario, we have members from all over the world. In addition to our events we meet about eight times a year at the home of a member usually on a Sunday afternoon.. Meetings are casual, puppies are welcome and we share in the preparation of a pot luck meal.
