I didn't mean the names, just the numbers, i.e. 1995 xx dogs, xx btiches and so on. would be an interesting ten year list to think about how many Selects would have been awarded if we had the limit of 10% of the entry. I just don't understand the need to change something that has worked wonderful for so many years and I admit, the German Shepherd Dog is not like a Corgi, Lab, Golden or anyother Breed. Why should we pattern our national and the Selects or lack of Award of merit after another Breed?
