there are no garontee,s,but being brothers with good hip scores. pick the stud from what the rest of the dog is...like if you want bigger heads pick the one with the biggest head. you cant pick wrong. that is thing about having great qaulity dogs to start with. you wont know which will throw the tightest hip,s for years and if you breed to same female....no garontee,s on anything. use hip scoes as main tool if you want...as long as you keep in mind the total dog and the look YOU want to produce. you have done the most important thing allready....start with qaulity dogs. my opinion only

: 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.
