Applying for Membership in The Bulldog Club of America

The Bulldog Club of America is the parent Club of the Bulldog Breed in the United States. The BCA has eight Divisions which cover the entire country and each Division has its own governing body. The power to consider, accept or reject applications is vested in the Divisional Board of Governors which meets quarterly.

Application documents, including the Application Form and the BCA Code of Ethics/Release of Liability Statement may be obtained from the Division Secretaries, local Bulldog clubs (see below) and/or breeders who are in good standing with the BCA. The completed application documents and a check in U.S. dollar funds for $20.00 per year (plus a $10.00 surcharge for foreign members and a $10.00 airmailing fee for all "off shore", i.e. all but Canadian and Mexican, foreign members) must be forwarded to the Division Secretary of the Division in which you live or, if a foreign member, in which you will be associated.

The applicant must be over 18 years of age and the applicant must be proposed by a BCA member in good standing. Any membership application not signed by a BCA member in good standing will not be considered.

Members receive the Bulldogger, the official BCA publication which is published quarterly. Depending on the date of acceptance into the BCA and availability, new members will be provided back issues for the year they join.
