Normally bitch owners will use a dog who is winning well at shows, or is winning at Obedience or Working Trials. They will also want to see how good his offpring are in their chosen field.
For most people the only acceptable form of advertising is to advertise what the dog has to offer the breed by his outstanding type proven in the showring, or outstanding working ability.
After all good breeders have the choice of the top dogs in the breed. An unknown unproven dog is unlikely to attract reputable bitch owners, and the litters produced will simply add to the rescue problem, which is the reason for the negative tone of some posts.
There are plenty of pups left over in a litter from outstanding parents when the most promising workers or show prospects are chosen to simply be pets, occasionally some of these will be non standard in colour and coat.
