CBTC News

Warm greetings from the South Island of New Zealand to all Bully lovers worldwide!

Welcome to www.bullterrier.org.nz the home of the Canterbury Bull Terrier Club. We are a small, yet enthusiastic group of Bully breeders, owners and friends, with pride, respect and love for our unique breed and its posterity.

An affiliated NZKC breed specific club, we hold and participate in shows at local and national level, encouraging new members and visitors alike to join in at club and social events.

If you're a seasoned Bully companion, or a newcomer to the breed we hope you enjoy our CBTC site. If you don't find what you're looking for here, head over to the links page where you can visit 65 other Clubs and Organistations, 283 Bull Terrier Breeders and Kennels and over 100 informative and fun Bully sites!

The online Bull Terrier community is growing everyday, bringing us all closer together, making our world a little smaller and providing the mutual support needed to keep our Bullies healthy and well-represented worldwide. The internet offers all of us a wonderful opportunity to educate and inform the greater community, without misconception, of our affectionate, intelligent and funloving English Bull Terrier.

The CBTC is proud to support the Big Bully Design Initiative at www.bullterriersnz.com striving to make proffessional, unique, design and web hosting solutions obtainable for all Bull Terrier breeders, owners and enthusiasts looking for space and resources to promote our wonderful breed!

Best wishes from all at the CBTC - go forth, have fun and get Bullied!

Items of Special Interest

Roz O’Keefe has decided with a smidgeon of remorse to part with her considerable library of Bull Terrier books some of which are first editions. The sale of these has created considerable interest from overseas.
