Hi Charles, I would have to say yes for me. For example the Von Willebrand's, my lines are clear of it but for my peace of mind I tested all of my dogs. I want to know for sure my lines are free and clear! All my dogs tested Clear. They can test Clear, Infected, and Carrier. Same with CERF, I have lines clear of it but I will be testing for that next. Bad hips can still come from excellent hipped dogs, I say a resounding for sure on testing this! I agree environment can affect their hips. All my dogs are raised inside my house with me and we have 5 acres, 2 1/2 fenced in where we go out and have our very own Doodle Romps :) No concrete except our driveway and no kennels for me, I love being surrounded by my dogs :) My dogs get "naps" where I confine them to the kitchen for lots of rest as they are growing pups :) Shari (Olympic Labradoodles) ------------------------ Yahoo!
