Welcome to the Golden State Bull Terrier Club website!

 

Established in 1928, our club is the second oldest Bull Terrier regional breed club in the United States.

At one time we were the second largest Bull Terrier club in the world. The great General George S.

Patton even held an honorary membership to of our club!  Maybe you are familiar with Patton’s

Willy, Meatball from Black Sheep Squadron, Chico from the Friday movies, Spuds Mackenzie,

Rufus the Westminster winner, or The Target dog.  No matter what image comes to your mind, this is that

beloved egg headed dog so often referred to as the Clowns of the Canine world. .As we look forward to almost a centennial of supporting our breed.  We honor the heritage of our club and look forward to celebrating its’ future.

 

The Golden State Bull Terrier Club is dedicated to the welfare of Bull Terriers and educating the public about our breed.  We have multiple events throughout the year that promote education and awareness of our dogs.  One of particular note is our attendance at the annual American Family Pet Exposition usually held at the Orange County Fairgrounds in Costa Mesa each April.  This is a great place to bring your Bull Terrier for many pets and hugs from an adoring public and to showcase the wonderful character of our breed.  As either an exhibitor or attendee you will walk away from this event with a smile on your face.

 

In March we sponsor the GSBTC and Bull Terrier Club of America Specialties in conjunction with the Great Western Terrier Association at the Pomona Fairgrounds.  This is our most important event of the year and our biggest fund raiser.  This is gives you the chance to meet the breed up close and personal, to learn about the special characteristics of the breed, or to meet club members and Bull Terrier enthusiasts.  We have one of the best raffles in the fancy, and we also offer three days of great food, beverages and fun.

 

Another popular event is held in December with our annual puppy match in Huntington Beach, followed by the year-end Christmas party.  Filled with tons of fun, great food, raffles and an optional gift exchange.  Mostly though it is a chance for us to get together and talk about our favorite subject, bull terriers!

 

If you have any questions or need additional information about our wonderful breed please do not hesitate to contact any of our officers.  We would be more than happy to assist you in any way.
