General Info

The Fort Worth Bulldog Club was founded in 1955 in Fort Worth, Texas. The club's historical records are not available, but the American Kennel Club confirmed that the Fort Worth Bulldog Club's Constitution and Bylaws were approved and adopted on October 14, 1955. Records reveal that the club's first specialty show was held on Saturday, November 3, 1956, at the South Side Recreation Center in Fort Worth, Texas. The show was judged by Mrs. C. L. "Flo" Savage from Los Angeles, California. There was an entry of 53 dogs. The entry fee at that time was $5 for a Champion; $4 for the Bred By Exhibitor, Open and American Bred classes; $3 for Novice and Puppy classes and $2 for each additional entry. The number of male entries required for a 5-point major show then was 18, but only 16 bitches were required for the award of 5 championship points. The show catalog contains ads with pictures of some club members' dogs, such as: Mr. and Mrs. W.L. Fuller and Fuller's Lonesome George, J.L. (Red) Harvey and Ch. Harvey's Defender, B.J. Walton and E.L. Davis with Ch. Dickensbrae Sambo. A club newsletter, dated April 3, 1957, reports that the club hosted bingo games to raise money, had a "Red Team" and a "Gold Team" to help improve the club's membership, and that it planned a film on the C-section for the club. Officers during the club's first specialty show were: President A.L. Sutherland Vice President W.H. Irvin Treasurer Lynn McCormack Secretary Grace Sawyer Corresponding Secretary Frances McCelland Director Adele Irvin Director W. L. Fuller We know the principles the club was founded on are still intact today. They include: *To maintain a standard of excellence for the guidance of breeders, owners and judges. *To improve the breed through encouragement of effort directed toward approach to, or attainment of, the degree of excellence set forth in the standard of the Bulldog breed. *To stimulate interest in competitive public showings of Bulldogs. *To further the interests of the breed. *To work for the general good of breeders, owners and exhibitors of Bulldogs.
