It would be very good if the regional clubs held an informal vote on this issue and then sent the results to the board. It would give the board a better over view of the feelings of the members across the USA.

Jeff Pyle -----Original Message----- From: Jim & Cyndi Flautt To: showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tue, 26 Apr 2005 19:37:47 -0500 Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] list Board Members please read I would like my opinion to be known to our board members, and suggest that all parent club members make their opinions known..... If given the chance to vote, I would NOT vote to limit the number of selects. I feel it should be the decision of the judge. I could live with 10 selects if need be, however, I am STRONGLY OPPOSED to limiting the number of selects to 10% and handing out Award of Merit certificates. I'll not go into all the reasons for my opinions, but will say that I am one of the many parent club members who actively participates in our sport. Please consider the opinion of those of us who are working hard toward breeding or owning a dog with the title of Select.....A title with a long and honored tradition in our club.
