What is website spoofing?

Website spoofing is a scam where cyber criminals create a website that closely resembles a trusted brand as well as a domain that is virtually identical to a brand's web domain. The goal of website spoofing is to lure a brand's customers, suppliers, partners and employees to a fraudulent website and convince them to share sensitive information like login credentials, Social Security numbers, credit card information or bank account numbers.

It is important to be aware any website is in danger of spoofing. Always verify you are on a Secure (https:) site and the url matches the official website url of the site you intended to visit. BCA uses https://bulldogclubofamerica.org.

We were notified there is a spoofing website of The Bulldog Club of America. Please verify before entering any sensitive information! Do not enter any user names, passwords or credit card info before ensuring you are on the correct website.

    Loki the Lure Courser

    You know how some parents get that one child that tests them at every turn? Loki is mine. We show conformation and as anyone who has witnessed can testify, lord knows we tried with Loki. Loki just had no interest in keeping all 4 feet on the floor, much less standing still. He yodeled, spun, crawled up my legs, and removed any shred of humility I had left. I took him to countless conformation training classes and two complete sessions of obedience. Even though he did win a couple times, it just wasn’t meant to be--there would be no conformation titles in Loki’s future.

In fact, they said "all" short-faced dogs are "unhealthy," but I did nothing because these weren't my breed.
