National Field Futurity
The National Field Futurity is a non-regular competition whereby the breeder nominates a litter within 60 days of whelping, and enters the get from that litter to compete with the other futurity nominated litters at the National Field Trial. The idea is these dogs will represent that breeders best efforts in researching and planning their highest quality litter for that year, based upon their knowledge, understanding and confidence of the genetic potential of the proposed breeding.
The purpose of the Futurity class, also known as the Breeders Stake, is to promote the Shorthair progress by thoughtful breeding.
