the bulldog club of new jersey (bcnj) club was founded in 1936. we meet monthly in bridgewater, nj and are governed by the members under the leadership of the club officers and board of governors. we are a specialty club, which means we the only dogs involved our activities are bulldogs, as defined by the bulldog club of america and by the american kennel club.
the club holds two akc sanctioned match shows with futurities each year, one in july and one in february. two licensed akc point shows are held annually: one in april as part of a four independent specialty show weekend and the second held in september as a designated specialty with the somerset hills kennel club show.
