I agree 100%, but because a dog can move and jump doesn't mean it is not dysplastic . I would not rule out a dog that doesn't have great hips on that alone, but KNOWING what the dogs hips are is, for me at least, is one piece of the puzzle. I know a dog that is dysplastic, but have seen this dog move effortlessly and jump like there is no tomorrow, when he gaits he floats. It is a dog I have seen in person, played flirt pole with, so know his movement first hand. His off spring have been quite successful. Luckily he can't read an x-ray, so is unaware of his condition I have also seen dogs with great hips on the X-Ray who have horrible movement and structure. I just think if we have access to these tools why not utilise them.
Haha touché I definitely am not putting it down I like testing and will be getting my buddy xrayed. I just don't want someone to over look a breeder who meets all the other criteria but doesnt health test.. because there are a ton of good breeders who do great things for dogs and have never looked at an xray
