-----Original Message----- From: RivendellP [mailto:rivendellp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, April 27, 2005 9:09 PM But...let me ask you all a question that I posed before in a post that received not a single response. Do you all believe the 12th or the 18th Select is of equal quality of the GV/GVX on a different day? That is the paraphrased definition of Select that is so stated in the P & P Manual. ************************************************************************ It would be interesting to go back and record the number of selects each year for the last, say, 20 years. It would also be interesting to see if any of the "low selects" (high numbers) ever made it to "high select" (low numbers) or even GV and GVX in a subsequent year....Offhand, I can think of one GV(who also was a top producing ROM) who was Sel 3 one year, did not go select the next year, then went GV the 3rd year.......So, who's to say that the "low selects" or dogs that were cut, couldn't be up there under a different judge? Just another opinion :-) Cyndi www.carettigsd.com ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
