" Breeding two dogs with A hips exclusively without the underlying issue resolved (what is the cause of these good hips) is still equally hiding/masking the problem. It still will eventually bite."

I don´t think so - in case people could be forced to x-ray and send in the results of all dogs, we certainly would be able to better the HD status. I really like the "HD Zuchtwert", but as long as breeders and owners don´t send in the "bad" results, we will never see the improvement we could see.

I don´t think that breeders are able to eliminate HD totally, but they could better the percentage for sure.

Susie that is exactly what Malcolm Willis always
used to say about the UK (BVA/KC) Scheme.
Same will apply to elbows, I think.
