BC ALL TERRIER CLUB
About the Club
Formed in 1965 by a group of Terrier fanciers, the BC All Terrier Club’s purpose has always been to encourage and promote the various Terrier breeds. Goals include working towards the betterment of all dogs, and specifically to assist and educate owners of terriers in their proper care and handling. By involving themselves in breed shows, obedience trials, puppy matches and public functions, the members make it their mission to educate the public about the Terrier group while encouraging sportsmanship and fellowship in all matters pertaining to purebred Terriers.
