Have a pup from last year’s Futurity that is still eligible for this year’s Futurity? Here are your steps:

1. Individual Pup Nomination – select Rollover option
2. Individual Pup Entry into the actual Futurity event

QUALIFYING LITTER DATE:
All AKC and AKC recognized kennel club registered litters, including SPDBS, which are whelped 6 months prior to the date of the Futurity.

QUALIFYING AGE OF PUPPIES:
All Salukis must be at least 6 months old but no older than 2 years on the day of the Futurity.

WHO IS AUTHORIZED TO NOMINATE?:
Any of the breeders of the litter may do the first 2 steps of the nominations. Either breeder or owner of the Saluki may do the third step (entry form). If someone other than one of these individuals is doing any portion of the nominations, then a written and signed letter from one of the authorized individuals specified above, giving this person permission to do so, must be sent postal mail to the Futurity Secretary, and received no later than 30 days after the first nomination that this person does. No emails will be accepted for this.

Judge Nomination is included on the Litter Nomination forms:

1. One nomination only for each litter. (Only one of the breeders may nominate a judge if there are multiple breeders.)
2. One nomination only for each breeder. (Only one judge may be nominated by any breeder, even if more than one litter is nominated for the Futurity.)
3. One nomination only for any judge. (No name duplications will go into the hat for the drawing. You will be notified if your judge selection is already nominated and will be allowed to choose again, if you wish.)
4. You can change your judge nomination choice until December 31st, when the nominations close.
5. The following people are not eligible to judge the futurity:
   1. Owned or co-owned sire of puppies nominated
   2. Owned or co-owned dam of puppies nominated
   3. Owned or co-owned puppies nominated
   4. Employee or employer of A., B., or C.
   5. Spouse or member of household

Nominated judges’ names will go into a “hat” and be drawn at random. Nominations are due to the Futurity Secretary no later than December 31st for the Futurity of that year. It is suggested that, just as in nominating judges for specialties, that the Futurity judge nominee be a “Saluki person.” If your litter would happen to be eligible two years in a row, you may nominate a new judge for the second year. You have to be current in the Futurity process – including fees and entry information. Judges will be eligible once every 10 years. When nominating a judge, provide all contact information. The names of all judges nominated will be printed in the newsletter, in the order pulled.
