When I showed my Weimaraners my advertising budget was sure not 10,000 a month!!! It was more like 3000 a YEAR! We owner breeder handled them and we have won several large all breed BIS. In nearly all of them we did not know the judge nor had we shown to them before. I had two dogs that won about 100 groups. Could we have won more if we had advertised more and flown around to judges we knew liked our dogs, Sure. But we had a great time.
