In index-based breeding, based on breeding values, the specific combination of dogs used for breeding will be more important than the status of the dog itself.
This 'isofemale' selection was essentially based on breeding values, rather than selection at the level of individual dfe flies.
Selective breeding using normal dogs can reduce the frequency of hip dysplasia especially when selection of breeders is based on breeding values for hip dysplasia [9], [10].
As the heritability of the hip score was on the low end (0.21) of reported ranges, we propose that selection based on breeding values will result in more rapid genetic improvement than breeding based on phenotypic selection alone.
Therefore, we reason that selection of dogs based on breeding values would improve hip quality more rapidly compared to selection based on raw OFA hip scores [9], [14], [22].
Second, individuals are selected from a related population of selection candidates based on breeding values predicted from the marker genotypes alone.

Three-hundred dams were truncation selected based on breeding value at each time and each selected dam was allocated one mating.
Truncation selection 10 is a conventional breeding scheme with 10 sires and 300 dams truncation selected based on breeding value at each time.
Pre- selection of sires is as for truncated dams with the added restriction that 0.5, 1, 5, 10, and 25% of the male candidates were pre-selected by truncation selection based on breeding value before OCS.
Solutions still existed with pre- selection of sires 25, 10, 5, and 1% despite the fact that only males that were pre-selected based on breeding value were allocated matings by OCS.
The relative rate of response in Kenyan milk yield based on UK breeding values was estimated to be 44% of the rate expected in the UK.
