I'm not "threatened" either, but I found the other breeds jarring while also understanding the point of the advertising. What I would have done is featured Mike with a GSD on all pages. Around the edges, I'd have placed much smaller photos of him showing other breeds. Message? "I am successful no matter what breed." Smaller photos of the other breeds would have made all the difference, IMHO. I don't want to see full-page ads for other breeds, but am more than willing to see handlers showing their versatility. No, it's not a "sky is falling" scenario, but I can relate to folks who want to see GSDs in their breed magazine.
