Canadian National Alpaca Futurity

Futurity Guidelines

1) All CLAA Registered offspring of the 2024 Subscribed Studs are eligible for the Futurity. This includes 0% Recorded Alpacas born in Canada. They must have a recorded number prior to the show in April

* Also, all cria resulting from breedings purchased in the 2023 CNASF Stud Auction are eligible for the futurity as JUVENILES/YEARLINGS even if the studs are not subscribed for 2024. (This does not apply to stud owners who purchase their own herdsire's breeding in the auction.)

** For studs that were subscribed the previous year and are no longer able to breed in Canada (i.e. they have died, are unfertile or have been sold out of country), the owners may self-subscribe them to the futurity for a fee of $750.

Entries must be CLAA registered. Alpacas will be checked upon arrival for colour, sex, and microchip number. Minimum requirements to show are microchip and copy of the registration papers.

2) Where possible entries will be split into classes by colour, age, and sex. The colour splits will be:

• White – only true whites
• Light – includes beige and light fawns
• Medium – includes medium & dark fawns
• Dark – includes light, medium & dark browns
• Black – includes bay black and black
• Grey – includes rose and silver greys
• Multi alpacas (other than greys) with 2 or more distinct colours in the blanket area

If a colour falls between two colours it will go into the darker.

3) Judging will be 60/40 fibre/conformation. First and second place alpacas will return for the colour champion classes.

4) There is no minimum class size and the maximum class size will be 10.

5) The show committee reserves the right to:

• place entries in the appropriate colour class,
• adjust the classes based on the number of entries,
• adjust colour class boundaries.

Verbal directions from the show committee take precedence over the show program.

6) Prize money will be paid to at least 50% of the class.

7) All Alpacas for both shows are required to be on site by Thursday April 3rd at 4 PM, and remain until the Supreme Champions are announced for the ALPACA Spring Show on Sunday.
