it's nice to have well kept facilities but that is not the only determinate in creating well bred dogs.. ..... what about raising up the individual bitches so you know their strengths and weaknesses in character, so as to make intelligent choices in mates that'll be compatible?

and in the US the minimum age for OFFA hip scores is 24 months = 2 years old. Is the UK on another system?

at the moment the most used is the 'bva' which allows a dog to be 'scored' at a year old(i do not see the rush,and if the bva system is used would prefer the dog to be fully grown)...personally i like the 'penn hip' method but hey lol.
