I think advertising is not so much "influencing the judge" as letting
PEOPLE KNOW our dogs are out there competing. Judges aren't stupid;
they realize (like everyone else does) that paid ads can claim
anything they want to claim--they don't mean the claims are true! I
also believe that there's a mixture of ego and pride in ads; naturally
we want our dogs to win and want the world to know it (the ego.) And
the child in us is intoxicated with love for our dogs (the pride.)
