when breeding for hip scores is it best to just go for the highest scored male or female?For instance Stomper and Rosco are brothers with the same ped but Stomper has the higher score.But does that mean that Stomper will throw tighter hips.Or similar results being that they have the same dogs in their background.I was curious what you thought about this because I know that in some instances the huge dog can throw smaller dogs were as the smaller brother might throw the big ones.Plus Stomper seems to have the bigger head than Rosco and Im wanting to do a Gracie male breeding to Sassy sometime in the future.So I guess my question is does higher hip scores in a sibling guaranty that the sibling will throw better?I know that there are also other things to consider overall but the scores are at the top of my priorities.
