----- Original Message ----- From: Lori Richardson <I have a friend who has a puppy she would love to show at the Texas Futurity but the puppy doesn't turn 6 months until after the Futurity. Did they realize they were losing some Junior puppies by having it so early in the year? Anyone else with this issue?> . __._,_.___ unless the futurity system has changed dramatically since I used to play there, the classes are determined by the puppy's date of birth, not the date of the futurity...your friend's puppy will probably be a Senior Puppy next year...
