In 2002, the BTCA board created a special national award recognizing Bull Terriers with titles and certifications in multiple disciplines. 

These accomplishments are recognized by 2 awards; the Versatility Award (VA), for Bull Terriers earning 5 points in 3 different areas, and the VA Excellent (VAX),  for Bull Terriers  with 10 points in 4 areas.  Artists Linda Lethin, Carl Wright and Janis Dolphin generously gave their time and talent to design the presentation porcelain plates.

Six retroactive Versatility Awards were presented at the 2002 Silverwood banquet, and since then many more Bull Terriers have followed in their paw prints.  All past recipients are listed in the “Past Trophy Winners” section of The Record.

Kudos and congratulations to those club members, and their canine ambassadors for exhibiting the ability and good temperament of our breed.
