As has been published numerous times, (in the Review, in Tish's Constant Contact messages and by me on this list and others), as of 10/1/10, in order for a litter to be Futurity nominated FREE OF CHARGE, it MUST be nominated prior to birth. The 2012 Litter Nomination section on the GSDCA web site gives the new fee schedule which includes the above requirement., , This is Purina's program and the other breed clubs with whom Purina works have been doing this for some time now. The GSDCA was able to have the one week allowance for a number of years but now we need litter nominations PRIOR to the date of whelp., , I want to thank the many of you who have already nominated 2012 litters and done so within the Purina guidelines., Diane Silver-Strasser GSDCA Futurities Diane Silver-Strasser Silstra German Shepherds Skatiebug'z The online store for everything German Shepherd and then some! http://skatiebugz.blogspot.com Skater's Blog ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2010.
