Futurity Rules & Entry Forms for puppies 6-9 months old
Futurity Rules & Entry Forms for puppies 10-20 months old
  • Each dog is judged individually and scored in each area of the breed standard from 1-20 pts (10 pts being an average dog, 1 being a poor dog and 20 being an exceptional dog).
  • An example of the judges score is on this website for you to look at.
  • Then that score is tallied and put into the computer.  Then in a separate ring the other judge will judge the same dog.
  • That score is put into the computer. 
  • Each judge will have a different colored score card. (EX: Judge 1 Yellow; Judge 2  Purple)  That will keep things straight in case a judge forgets to initial his/her card.
  • The computer will average the scores and determine the winner(s).
  • Winners will not be announced until after the specialty in order to keep judges from copy/pasting their winners into the regular events.   
  • If there happens to be a tie then the dog scoring highest in movement will be the winner.
  • If that does not break the tie, one of the judges will be picked by straw and his score will determine the winner. 
  • Tie breaker judge will also pick the grand champion puppy from the Jr and Sr divisions of the 10 thru 20 month old futurity.
  • As far as the judging being off colored, we have tried to protect it by having the two judges in two seperate rings judging different dogs at different times. 
  • They will have no idea until after the show is all over how the dog was scored by the other judge. 
  • They will never see a dog name or kennel name.
  • They will only be supplied with an armband number(given out immediately before the event) .
  • The ring steward will check microchips as they enter the ring. 
  • Since we are giving an award to the Sire and the Dam with the highest  points we are nominating both the sire and the dam in the 6 thru 9 month old futurity.  It will be called the Top Producer award.   It should give lots of bragging rights as well as a nice award for your mantel. 
  • Hopefully as the Futurity grows we will be able to give more money back to the breeders.  
  • If we expect people to come from long distances, we must have a top payback. 
  • This will help to accomplish that.
