As a breed we have been moving in the right direction and have been for some 
time, it's not perfect(but what is?). 

I also think most of the top breeders today, take hips into consideration when 
making their stud choices for upcoming litters. I also believe experienced 
conciencious breeders, and not vet's have the best understanding of their lines 
and how certain traits(good and bad) are carried through the litters they 
create.  My guess is that these same breeders however, only produce about 10% 
of the entire puppies annualy registered with the AKC

And keep in mind it takes generations for these decisions/choices to penetrate 
the entire GSD breed and make there affects felt in the years to come as those 
choices move through the population down the line as it were.
