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 and/or breeders who are in good standing with the BCA. The completed application documents and a check in U.S. dollar funds for the membership dues 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. Membership dues are $25 per domestic member with a $10 surcharge for foreign members. There is an additional mailing fee for members living outside the US: $5 for Canada and Mexico; $25 elsewhere.

The applicant must be over 18 years of age and the applicant must be proposed (sponsored) by a BCA member in good standing. Any membership application not signed by a BCA member in good standing will not be considered. Additionally, Division III strongly recommends the submitted application be accompanied by the adopted Division III Sponsorship Questionnaire.
