I guess it depends on how you define "Select Quality". If you are saying COULD be GV, GVX on another day, I'm thinking you may have 3...4 tops. If you are saying "very nice dog/bitch", sure...have 10-12-15...whatever. When I read critiques and see "not as clean going away", "not quite as extended", one was "a tad cleaner through the elbows", "would improve...pasterns", "could be tighter coming at you"......I'm thinking the later definition and not the former.
