FUTURITY RULES
The purpose of the Futurity Stakes is to encourage
the breeding of the best possible Samoyed and to reward
the breeders for their efforts. For this reason, the
stakes are weighted in favor of the breeder. The Futurity
Stake, which may be held in conjunction with the National
specialty, is entered by nominating a litter. Individual
puppies from a nominated litter are eligible to compete
in the first annual Futurity held on or after the date
the puppies reach six month of age, and only in this
stake. In the Futurity Stake, there will be eleven cash
wins, with three individuals (the breeder, the owner
and the sire's owner) partaking of each for a total
of thirty-three monetary awards won by eight different
Samoyeds.
ELIGIBILITY
Nominations to the Futurity are open only to breeders
who are active members, in good standing, of the Samoyed
Club of America. The bitch whose litter is nominated
must be owned, co-owned or leased by a Samoyed Club
of America member. This requirement does not apply to
the owner(s) of any eligible puppy, or the owner(s)
of the sire. To be eligible to compete in the Futurity,
a Samoyed must meet the following requirements:
1) Be from a litter, which was properly and timely
nominated.
2) Have been individually nominated before it reached
the age of four months.
3) Be properly entered in one of the regular classes
of the National Specialty and Obedience Trial.
4) Not be bred or ever owned, or co-owned, or leased
by that year's judge, or a member of his or her immediate
family.
5) Not sired by or out of a Samoyed bred by or ever
owned, co-owned or leased by that year's judge or member
or his or her immediate family.
6) The sire and dam must both have OFA numbers after
the age of two years of age with an exam date prior
to breeding. The sire and dam must both have current
CERF or a current normal eye exam by a Board Certified
Opthamologist prior to breeding. Any dog or bitch that
is eight years of age or older with a CERF at that time
will be considered a permanent CERF.
