In looking at the records, this is not true.  There was only one year, 
when Ed judged, that the number of selects was that high...and, 
interestingly enough, the animals selected that year, for the most part, have 
had top notch show careers.  From 97 to 2004 the number of dog selects 
has ranged from 10 to 14 (excluding the Ed year) and bitches from 10 to 
13 (excluding the Ed year), with 1998 being the high year.  This is 
very consistent and I do not subscribe to the notion that select quality 
and number should be a function of entry numbers.  Face it, the top 
animals go to compete and their owners find a way to make it happen.  
Today's economy has weeded out many who might go to just enter and 'have 
fun'.  What I am trying to express is that 400 animals or 200, you would 
most likely have almost the same number of top contenders, therefore 
your selects would be the about the same.  Cynthia
