Way wrong! Selects stay the same. We added an Award of Merit for dogs that completed all the requirements of A.O.E. but lacked the "Select" win. Select dogs are still entitled to obtain an A.O.E. as before. No changes....an addition to honor Champions with all the titles. -----Original Message----- From: Danannkennel@xxxxxxx [mailto:Danannkennel@xxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, April 26, 2005 2:51 PM To: helen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx; showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Award of Merit In a message dated 4/26/2005 5:41:09 P.M.

They would be eliminating the SELECT title and giving an AOM to the next dogs in line . the number predetermined by the board Please explain more complete to us Infact when the time comes that the list poses its questions to the candidates running for office I think this is one that should be listed Sally ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
