The Bronze Trophy Show is steeped in tradition dating back many years. The show is usually the first or second weekend in May .It was a great 2011 Bronze. MARK YOUR CALENDAR. The 2012 Bronze is on May 4th, 5th & 6th, 2012. 3 Sets of ROM Points & 3 Sets of CKC Points. There will also be a Standard & Miniature Bull Terrier Specialty on May 6th, 2012. In recent years it has been held in conjunction with the Seaway Kennel Club Championship All Breed Show and has changed from a two day show to a three day weekend. The weekend events are held in two locations about ten minutes apart. Traditionally there has been the Open Trophy event and The Bronze Trophy event on Saturday & the BTFA Specialty on Sunday. These events are held at the Allanburg Community Centre. The BTFA will continue to support the entry at the Seaway Kennel Club Championship All Breed Show on Friday by providing a BTCA approved ROM judge so that ROM points can be awarded. In 2012 there will not be a ROM Judge provided on Saturday. Canadian Championship points will be awarded on both Friday & Saturday. The Seaway All Breed Championship Dog Show is held at the Thorold Arena. Click here to view the judging panel for the 2012 Bronze.

The venue of the Bronze Trophy Weekend is part of the reason many bully folk travel from afar to be part of this event. The show takes place in a rural setting in the Niagara area of Ontario, Canada. This is considered to be the heart of Ontario winemaking country. World famous Niagara Falls is nearby and we traditionally dine in a casual manner overlooking the falls on Saturday evening after the Bronze. Everyone is welcome, no reservation is necessary.

The Rules for Entry and the Judging Procedure for the Open Trophy Show and The Bronze Trophy Show are unique. With only minor changes over the forty years of tradition, these rules & procedures are not sanctioned by the Canadian Kennel Club. Therefore these events do not qualify for Canadian championship points and the show is not a CKC event. However the BTFA Specialty on Sunday is a CKC sanctioned event and Canadian championship points are awarded in the usual manner.

In 2007 the Bull Terrier Fanciers Association held the first Annual BTFA BT Rescue parade as part of the Bronze Trophy Weekend. This provided a format for our rescues and their adopted parents to come and be recognized for the challenges in life that they have successfully overcome.

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. The BTFA MBT National Specialty is held on Sunday. All these are Canadian Kennel Club Sanctioned Shows and Canadian Championship points are awarded. In 2012 the BTFA added the inaugural BTFA MBT Trophy Show featuring The Don Cherry Trophy. Please click here to visit the Don Cherry Trophy Page for details.
