I feel that the judges that we elect from the membership for the National are voted in for their opinions. If it is their OPINION that motivates them to choose 15 Selects, so be it. If it is their OPINION to choose 5 Selects, so be it again. I think it's a slap in the face of the judges to restrict them in their selections. And who gives a tinker's damn about other breeds?? People in other breeds could care less about us--uh, except maybe to laugh at all the noise from the double handlers and the trampling of people and dogs alike from the aforementioned. <VBG> Penny in NY ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
