The purpose of the Futurity Stake is to encourage the breeding of the best possible Dalmatian and to
reward the breeders for their efforts. For this reason, the stakes are weighted in favor of the breeder, who is the one that
chooses the sire, nominates the bitch before whelping, raises the litter, and often even pays the entry fees for the individual
puppies.

On-Line Futurity Information
You may nominate a bitch/litter, puppy and confirm the whelping of your litter on-line. No judge nominating or voting will be
done on-line.
You must have a valid email address. The entire bitch/puppy nomination process will be completed on-line. No confirmations will
be mailed to you. It is your responsibility to print and keep your confirmations.
You may submit your nomination fees in one of two different methods. You may use Paypal to submit your payment on-line with a
credit or debit card, if you prefer you can mail a check. Using Paypal requires a small surcharge. You must mail or submit your
payment to reach the Chairman within 10 working days from the date you submitted your nomination. Per Futurity rules your payment
must be postmarked or submitted before your litter is whelped. Your payment for puppy nominations must be postmarked or transmitted
before they reach four months of age.
On the forms you must make an entry in every field. If a field doesn't apply enter only the word NONE. Example you don't belong
to the Purina Pro Plan Club, enter the word NONE in that field.
Please note that the breeder field is called primary breeder. List only one name in this field. Example "Tom Smith or Tom and
Mary Smith" Do not list several co-breeders. The person named as the primary breeder will receive all communications dealing with
the Futurity. Listing co-breeders on the co-breeder field is optional. No co-breeders, enter only the word NONE in the co-breeder
field.
In the primary owners field on the puppy form, list only one name in the field. Example Mary Smith or Tom and Mary Smith. You may
list co-owners in the co-owner field.
When you are satisfied with all the entries on the form click the submit button. Print and save it. Mail your check or submit your payment immediately. After the chairman receives it you will
receive an e-mail with your bitches or puppies nomination number. Print and save it.
 FUTURITY BONUS PRIZE PROGRAM
The Dalmatian Club of America Futurity and the Dalmatian Club of America Foundation is offering
a "bonus cash prize" as an incentive program to increase DCA member's participation in health screenings and data collection.
To encourage the health testing and screening of Dalmatian breeding stock, the Dalmatian Club of America Foundation (DCAF)
will offer the following special prizes. These prizes shall be awarded only if the Sire and Dam are CHIC listed. The
Sire and Dam shall be deemed CHIC listed if they appear on the CHIC data base 10 days before the judging of
the Futurity. These prizes do not require any changes to the Futurity rules.
- Breeder(s) of the Best In Futurity winner shall be awarded $500.00 in aggregate by DCAF.
- Owner(s) of the Sire of the Best in Futurity winner shall be awarded $500.00 in aggregate by DCAF.
- Owner(s) of the Sire and Breeder of the best junior or senior that does not win Best in Futurity
shall be awarded $200.00 in aggregate each by DCAF.
- The Futurity chairman shall determine the eligibility of the winners as soon as possible after the
conclusion of Futurity judging. If possible the special prizes shall be awarded during the awards banquet
held in conjunction with the DCA specialty.
Note that becoming CHIC listed requires no special effort by the owners of Dalmatians. It is automatic
after the owners have completed the 3 basic health screenings [hearing, eyes and hips] and are permanently
identified and agree to have the results appear in the open data base. Since CHIC lists both normal and
abnormal results no Dalmatian is prevented from participating in the Futurity.
