Welcome
to the Miniature Bull Terrier Club of America. This site is meant
to be a resource for you. You will find out all about the
Miniature Bull Terrier here. You will learn who to contact for
answers to your questions.
The MBTCA was founded in
1966. It has over 130 members residing all over the US, as well as Canada
and other countries.
The MBTCA was originally created by a
dedicated group of breeders and owners interested in promoting wider knowledge
and greater appreciation of the extraordinary qualities of this breed.
Membership is open to fanciers who are interested in exhibiting at AKC dog shows
and/or performance events, and support breeding towards a healthy Miniature Bull
Terrier who fits the Breed Standard in both type and temperament. It is also open to those who simply
love the breed and seek friendship with fellow fanciers.
The MBTCA publishes a breed magazine, “A Little Bull,” four times a year,
and sponsors various trophies and awards, as well as conducting national and
regional specialties and supported shows around the country.
If you are a considering adding a
Miniature Bull Terrier to your household, we hope to help you make the most
informed decision whether this is indeed the right breed for you.
