We should keep that in mind the next time we call a judge crooked because he/she owns the sire or dam of the winner. <veg> Maybe it's not a fast AKC rule, but I still think it's in questionable taste to show the dog because it puts the judge in a compromising situation. (See Appearances in the rule book) Public perception at dog shows seems to err on the side of whatever is negative, so it's a no-win for the judge. Just my crotchety old opinion.
