The Oklahoma City Bulldog Club is very fortunate to have Dr. Joel Wilson as a long time member of our club. He will also now be serving the office of President for 2024. Dr. Wilson has been in practice for 43 years. His clinic specializes in breeding services, health testing and various types of surgeries. He and his wife, Cindy, are BCA Hall of Fame Breeders and are known worldwide for their kennel name, JWilson's Bulldogs. Due to Dr. Wilson's commitment to the care and promotion of the bulldog breed, the breed has benefited from his efforts.
Bulldog health improvements
During this century, we have seen significant improvement in the health of Bulldogs. This has occurred due to the diligence of the BCA and Clubs providing education regarding good breeding practices and establishing a Breeder Code of Ethics for its members. Since 2012, we have more than doubled the number of dogs participating in the BCA recommended bulldog health testing.
bulldog health education
BCA and each Club provide education to their members, judges and the public through monthly meetings, seminars publications, videos and participation in "Meet the Breed." Information on conformation, breeding ethics and the care, health and training of the Bulldog is readily available on this site and at bulldogclubofamerica.org.
ambassador of health
The BCA recognizes bulldog health testing done by BCA members through awarding the Ambassador of Health Award to the dogs with five levels of recognition based on the number of health tests passed. The Oklahoma City Bulldog Club offers a list of breeders who strive for healthy bulldogs. Be sure to consider a breeder on our Breeder page on this site.
