THE JUNIOR BULLDOG CLUB WAS FOUNDED IN 1912 BY MR DANDO AS AN ASSCOCIATED CLUB TO THE BULLDOG CLUB INCORPORATED DUE TO THE HIGH COST OF MEMBERSHIP OF THE BULLDOG INC WHICH WAS ONE GUINEA (£1.05 IN TODAYS MONEY) AND MANY PEOPLE COULD NOT AFFORD THIS AMOUNT. THE JUNIOR HAD MANY OF THE BENEFITS OF THE INC AT JUST 5 SHILLINGS (.25P).
UNFORTUNATELY THE ORIGINAL HEADQUARTERS, THE BAY MOULTON, GT PORTLAND ST, LONDON WERE BOMBED IN THE WAR. THE JUNIOR HELD IT'S FIRST CHAMPIONSHIP SHOW IN 1947 BUT HAD TO WAIT UNTIL THE LATE EIGHTIES TO HOLD ONE AGAIN DESPITE THE BEST EFFORTS OF HARRY FILEMAN THE THEN PRESIDENT. TO THIS DAY THE JUNIOR RETAINS THE HARRY FILEMAN STAKES CLASS AT IT'S OPEN SHOW AS A TRIBUTE TO MR FILEMAN. ALL PROCEEDS ARE DONATED TO BULLDOG RESCUE. THE BULLDOG INC AND THE JUNIOR RAN A JOINT OPEN SHOW IN THE SUMMER MONTHS BUT IN RECENT YEARS IT WAS DECIDED TO SEPERATE THE TWO CLUBS COMPLETELY AND THE JUNIOR CONTINUES TO THRIVE.
THE OBJECTS OF THE JUNIOR BULLDOG CLUB ARE:
(a) The preservation of the distinguishing characteristics of the Bulldog namely its courage, tenacity and endurance.
(b) The promotion of its welfare.
(c) The maintenance of the standard.
