A hip that is a little off - borderline=or mild - won't automatically

A lot of people failed to breed to Wildwood's Houston, due to one hip being
a bit off. A number of people failed to breed to Gotti, as the OFA claimed
one elbow was a bit off.
We took a Houston daughter we had whelped, to Gotti. They were the parents
of Champion Big Ben of Encore ROM, who sired Mephisto, who seems to be
producing a low incidence of hips and elbow problems, (same as Ben did).
If you missed Gotti or Houston, you may have missed a great opportunity, or
not. Everyone uses OFA as a guideline, as they should.
Not that there is anything wrong with that.
