I wouldn't breed either Female A or B with such a HUGE number of siblings having the problems. I know there is still a lot of questions about bloat and wether it is genetic or not ( I do think it is since it runs in certain lines and breeds) so with that high percentage i would not take the chance to pass that to other generations. If let's say the father bloated and one out of 8 bloated..than depending on the female (is she really going to improve something in my breeding program) I would probably breeed her.. For HD we all know now that siblings are as important as the subject itself. I would breed a boderline bitch with sibling that are all OFA good but I would never breed a OFA good bitch with all dysplastics siblings..
