If a dog is entered in an amateur futurity is that same dog elible for the regular maturity the following year. Or does that same dog have to be entered in the regular futurity to be eligible for the maturity? Also what exactly is the purpose of an amateur futurity. It is supposed to be for people to show their own dogs and no handlers can show right? Is there something in the rules stating no professional handlers? Thanks.
