BCA Versatility Awards Program
The BCA Versatility Awards Program is managed by the Performance Committee (PC). Original policy went into effect 12/1/2019. The policy has undergone some revisions and updates since then. The current version became effective 2/1/2025.
This awards program was developed to give parent club recognition to our BCA members’ Versatile Bulldogs – those that are successful in a variety of sports and activities. It is intended to reward those who have already succeeded in varied fields of endeavor, and also to incentivize more Bulldoggers to enter a multitude of events. As a benefit of BCA membership, we hope it will appeal to Performance Bulldoggers who may not be BCA members, so they'll consider joining the club. No one knows Bulldogs like BCA!
These awards are also a formalized way to celebrate the purebred Bulldog’s soundness in body and mind, intelligence, trainability and capabilities as well as the bond between Bulldogs and those who work in partnership with them to attain multiple achievements that exemplify these qualities.
Included for credit at this time are these main sports and activities: Conformation, Obedience, Rally, Agility (Standard & Jumpers), Coursing (Coursing Ability & FAST CAT), Tracking, Scent Work (Odor Search & Handler Discrimination), Barn Hunt, Drafting/Carting, Dock Diving, Fetch, Parkour, Canine Good Citizen, Virtual Home Manners, Temperament Testing, Farm Dog Certification, Trick Dog, Stunt Dog and Therapy Dog. Credit may also be earned from one of these additional events in the Handler’s Choice section: Flyball, Herding Instinct, Weight Pull, Canicross, Obstacle Course Racing, Treibball or Updog.
The system used for determining awards qualifiers was created to give appropriate credit and honor to BCA members’ purebred Bulldogs for different combinations of the number and level of the numerous and varied achievements they have acquired. There are seven tiers, with the first tier set to accommodate the minimum requirement: at least 3 sports, or 2 sports + 2 activities. Each specified achievement has an assigned level & point value. The format was designed to be simple to use, fair, and to comprehensively serve the BCA membership at large (both domestic & foreign).
