FUTURITY NOMINATIONS AND PAYMENT INFORMATION
Please see the Futurity Nomination Form link on the right sidebar.

FUTURITY
The purposes of the Futurity are to encourage the breeding of the best possible Schipperkes and to reward the breeders for their efforts. For these reasons, the Futurity Stake prizes are divided between the breeder and the owner, with recognition also given to the contribution of the sire. Fill out the fillable form at https://schipperkeclubofamerica.org/futurity-maturity/#!form/FuturityStakeNomination, scroll down to the link to the form and follow the directions to enter.
NOTE: A dog entered in Futurity must be entered in the Specialty. Please note, late nominations MUST have been made PRIOR to closing of entries.

MATURITY
The addition of the Maturity Challenge as a regular event at our National was unanimously approved by the SCA Board of Directors at the 2010 National in Colorado Springs and was introduced at the 2011 National Specialty Show.

The Maturity is designed to be educational and a complement to the Futurity. By bringing back the previous Futurity nominees and showcasing them as adults, breeders will have the opportunity to see not only how individual dogs have developed, but also how particular bloodlines grow and mature. The ages of the dogs will range from those that were Futurity eligible the immediately preceding National Specialty up to eight years of age. Maturity Dogs need not be entered in the regular classes. In addition, to fully evaluate bloodlines, we will also accept spayed and neutered dogs. The Maturity Procedures and Guidelines can be viewed at https://schipperkeclubofamerica.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Futurity-Maturity-Description-of-classes-12-02-25.pdf

NOTE: A dog entered in Maturity does not have to be entered in the specialty.
