CHECKSThe purse shall be figured by the ABC treasurer and checks shall be made out for the correct amounts for thevarious winners. All checks for the owners of the winners are signed by the treasurer and sent to the nationalfuturity secretary for distribution.TRIAL PROCEDUREThe stakes are not recognized by the AKC but is run under the ABC and the American Field. It shall be judged onthe “Standard of performance” adopted by the ABC Board of Directors. Braces shall be ½ hour; if a second series isnecessary, it is at the judges' discretion as to the length of time and the use of wild or planted birds. Since this is notan AKC event, the five minute out of judgment rule does not have to be applied, and the judges so advised.The drawing may be conducted as a straight from the hat procedure if you desire with the following exceptions. Allbitches in heat should be declared before the drawing. The rest of the field is drawn and then the bitches in heat aredrawn. If an uneven number should require that the fist bitch be run with the last dog from the regular draw, andsuch dog is a male, that male shall be switched with the last female in the regular draw. If this should result inhandler conflict the next to the last female in the regular draw shall be switched instead, etc.In the case of scratches, the field trial committee shall determine and announce before the running whether dogsshall be run alone or moved down to the next incomplete brace. In the case of bitches that come in heat after thestake has commenced, they shall be dropped down to the last brace. In case of any places being withheld, the moneyawards for those places shall revert to The ABC's general fund.There shall be four places awarded. Placements should be awarded to the “BEST DOGS” in the stake. Finding birdson the course should be primary concern, however as these field events are conducted under rules of the AmericanField and not AKC a placement with out bird work on the course is permissible.(2008) As such the five minute outof judgment rule does not have to be applied and the judges so advised.STANDARD OF PERFORMANCE FOR BRITTANY FUTURITYALL-AGE (Optional Horseback)Futurity dogs shall be judged as to their potential for developing into championship All Age Brittanys. They shallhunt the forward limits of the course with intelligence, eagerness, and desire with the obvious intention of findingbirds.The dog must locate and point birds staunchly and with style. No extra credit shall be given for steadiness to wingand shot, but they shall be judged for their intelligence in finding and pointing birds in an unfinished All Agemanner.The dog must respond to the handler but shall not be penalized for being more independent than an adult dog. A dogthat handles at the extreme edges of the course shall be preferred over one that needs a scout to keep him on course,but both shall be preferred over a dog that does not have sufficient range for an All Age dog."GUN DOG (FOOT HANDLED ONLY) (2008) (added Gun Dog Stake Performance Standard)Futurity dogs shall be judged as to their potential for developing into championship Gun Dog Brittanys. Theyexhibit a keen desire to hunt, a bold attractive style, intelligence in quartering and seeking objectives, eagerness, anddesire with the obvious intention of finding birds.The dog must locate and point birds staunchly and with style. No extra credit shall be given for steadinessto wing and shot, but they shall be judged for their intelligence and consistency of application in finding andpointing birds in an unfinished manner indicating their future potential as a high class Gun Dog.110
The dog must hunt for its handler at all times, at a suitable Gun Dog range. (2011) It must cover adequate ground,but not range out of sight for a length of time that would detract from its usefulness as a class Gun Dog. (2011)FUTURITY SHOWIt is recommended that the person in charge of the show should have conducted an AKC licensed specialty show,held in conjunction with a field trial.An AKC licensed judge does not need to be used. Most licensed judges charge more than can be afforded and manywill not judge an event that is not AKC approved. It has been the custom to use a Brittany person who is an AKClicensed judge, a professional show handler who has shown quite a few Brittanys, or a breeder who has hadexperience judging sanction matches. The choice of a judge must be approved by the futurity committee. The judgeshould be instructed not to penalize dogs for being in field shape. (2008) No dogs are to be measured in the futurityshow.The futurity show should be held in conjunction with the trial. It may be indoors or on the trial grounds, whereverappropriate space is available.STEWARDSTwo persons are needed, one to check dogs into the ring and one to pass out armbands, round up participants andanswer questions.CLASSESJunior MalesIntermediate MalesSenior MalesMales born September/DecemberMales born May/AugustMales born January/AprilWinners The winners of the three (3) preceding classes are judged against each other and the best male is chosen,then the second best (chosen like reserve winner at a regular show) and then third best (chosen like a second reservewinner) The rule to follow is that after the judge chooses his winner, the dog that placed next below the winner isbrought into the ring to compete with the two unplaced dogs. There shall always be three (3) dogs in competition.The three (3) top males receive money prizes.Bitches are judged in the same order as the males were judged.Best in Futurity The best male and best bitch compete for this award.Be sure the judge marks his <strong>book</strong> and that absentees are crossed out (or marked "Abs" or "DNS") and all winnersnoted.The show judge shall be provided with a copy of the “Judging Procedure” in order to ensure correct class andmoney placement.
