After 2002, which was the last time Ed judged, there were many
discussions, some of them
heated, about the true meaning of Select and how similar awards (called by
other names)
are given in other breeds, where usually the judge is limited to 5% of the
total entry
(dogs and bitches combined) in specials. In the end, it seemed that everyone
who pays
their entry fees and actually shows up wants a Select, which is to be
expected...the
difference is that a majority of people think they deserve that award because
they are
there.
Overall, we are lucky that there are so many good animals around that
we have a judge
who thinks that many deserve Selects.
As for Helen, the last time she judged the complaints went far beyond
just that she made
the dogs walk...
Things don't change that much...people just have very short
memories.
