I believe we are all talking about the same thing, any dog/bitch who could have been a GV or GVX on any other day in the eyes of that elected judge.....................anything else does not deserve a select title. Show me a GV or GVX who couldn't have the same critique as any of those selects. Afterall any dog/bitch will have some type of fault there is no absolute perfection............

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.
