Uodibar's Party Punch "Spike" won and Uodibar's Rachel Alexandra took RU. Congrats!

I've got a question about the NGSPA Futurity. I got nomination papers from my pup's breeder for the GSPCA Futurity in Eureka, KS in October, but not for the NGSPA Futurity. He's 8 mos now, so he'd run in next year's NGSPA Futurity if he were nominated. If I wanted to run my pup in the NGSPA Futurity, would my breeder need to separately nominate the litter for this event? Is there any other way to get into the NGSPA Futurity?

Futurity winners are:

1st - Bray's Henna-breeder/owner David Quijano
2nd - PW Penny for your Thoughts-breeder/owner Keith and Bobbi Richardson
3rd - Lonewolf's PWK Dust Buster-breeder Richardsons, owner Dean Crabbs

Congrats to all!

Buckshot 1, The NGSPA is a separate nomination and I believe for pups born between November 1 and October 31 two years before the running. This year’s Futurity would be for pups born between November 1, 2010 and October 31, 2011. The litter must be nominated with a fee within 45 days of whelp by the breeder and owner pays another nomination fee before the pup is a year old. If your breeder nominated the litter you only have a couple months to pay your part of the nomination fee.

Call Don Kidd as he is the futurity manager and will be glad to help u, he is on the NGSPA Webpage or u can do a Google

NGSPA All Age National Championship:

Champion- MSR's Opalescene Owner/handler James Messer
Runner Up - Chicoree's Ellie Mae Owner Fred Ryan, Handler Dan DiMambro

Congrats James, Fred and Dan!

Congrats to all owners, handlers & scouts!! (btw, Chris Goegan was Opal's handler) That makes Opal a 2x National Champion. Once at Kansas now Booneville. James & Sarah should be very proud!

Sounds like I may only be able to run the GSPCA futurity. No big deal. There are plenty of trials to run. I'll double check with Don Kidd just to make sure. Thanks for the guidance. Congrats to all the winners this year.

I believe Chris has handled 4 of the Nat Ch's since 2006 plus Nat SD in 2007!! BIG CONGRATS to Chris the dogs & their owners!!

Any word on shooting dog.

Just started yesterday and probably won't finish until Thursday. I know my dog doesn't run until Wed.
