Kathy, A Futurity nominated litter means that the breeder of the litter nominated the litter by filling out a form and sending that form in to Jim Rau Dog Shows with a fee and a 4 generation pedigree. Litters must be nominated within 90 days of their birth or a late fee is charged for litters that are late being nominated. The form that is used for nominating litters is found on the Parent Club web site under the link reading "Futurity Maturity". If you will click on that link you will see directions that will lead you to that form. I also have forms here in my office that I will be happy to mail to you if you prefer. We hope that you will become involved in the Futurity System. There will be education programs offered, and Special Shows also. Please contact me if you have other questions.
