I have a friend with a Rott who got him from good hip scored parents and he has a combined score of over 50!!!! So the system isnt fool proof  |
Cheers, sounds like his grandsire had a pretty poor score then.
I was thinking about getting him hip scored and health tested when he's older and if he's got a good score, stud him to a good breeder that is interested in improving the breed.
I briefly discussed it with the breeder and they would be happy to lift the endorsement if I decided to breed him but I would only want to do it if it was beneficial to the breed.
