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.
