In case you were wondering why I nag all of you each month about registering your breedings for the Parent Club Purina Program, here are the reasons. Please consider passing along your breeding information, and then telling us the names of the pups before they are 90 days old. Here are the reasons why: The Purina Futurity Alliance Program. Purina will donate the following to the Parent club: · $10 for each Futurity-nominated before litter whelped date. · $2 for each Futurity-nominated puppy before 4 month of age · $25 for each Futurity-nominated puppy that earns its AKC Conformation Championship title. · The breed club members are not required to feed Purina products or belong to Purina Pro Club to receive these donations. However, when the YOUR PARENT CLUB Futurity participants are members of the Purina Pro-Club and redeem weight circles, Purina will pay the YOUR PARENT CLUB 10% of the value of redemptions credited to the Futurity participantâ??s Pro Club account. . · There is an additional 10% earned by the YOUR PARENT CLUB from Futurity participants through Pro-Club redemption activity from the Purina Parent Club Partnership. · The amount paid through the two redemptions programs are calculated from the Futurity participantâ??s earnings from Pro-Club weight circle redemption activity. · In addition Purina supports the Parent club National Specialty with: · A sponsorship package · Recognition awards at the Futurity With the Pro-Plan Futurity Trophy · Purina will also award a breed specific Pro Plan Futurity Trophy to the winner of the annual Futurity competition, and will provide recognition awards for all Futurity-nominated puppies achieving their AKC Conformation Championship title.
