The Australian Bull Terrier Trophy Show is a biennial competition inaugurated in 1979 so that Australian breeders would have trophies which recognised their skill. It was conceived in the knowledge that similar competitions for Bull Terriers, in both the United Kingdom and the United States of America, had helped to spur breeders to strive for perfection in our breed with the winning of the trophies recognised as the apex of a breeder’s career, a goal at which all serious breeders aim. |
