Whether a Specialty or an All-breed show, only 1 Select Dog & 1 Select Bitch will be awarded GCH points. http://classic.akc.org/events/conformation/counting_grand_championship_points.cfm Perhaps the show-giving club gives their own, unique Select rating, like our National does?? No points, though.

The judge may award as many selects as he/she feels are deserving -- but only at a specialty show. At least that is my understanding of what happened.
