I will repeat that A and B Litter Groups have HD results so they should from my point of view with parents "health" certification.
It doesn't mean the puppies will be without displasia, just that the parents health is certified.
A litters should be distinguished from B litters because also morphologica characteristics have been certified, not only health of Parents.
Example is Peppe's sentance above: my dogs are healthy, they are wolfish, apparently without great defects, beautiful character, why shouldn't they mate?
They should, if you want, you are the breeder and it's your choice.
BUT... there is no certification of their character and morphological qualities from an experienced judge. YOU know that they are without defects, and if I buy a dog from you, I must trust YOU.
Allow me to say, no offense, that if Margo or Hanka or other experienced breeders use a dog without adult bonitation (B group), I would take a puppy from them because I trust them or I know they have experience.
Before I took a puppy from somebody else, I would have to see the parents personally first and be 100% sure of my choice.
I will make a stupid example: i met a breeder who was confident about his dogs, beautiful dogs, went to a couple of shows (not experienced breed judges but normal allrounder judges) who mated his dogs.
Puppies grew up and somebody underlined to him that 70% of the litter had teeth problems (missing teeth).
He then discovered (when puppies were 1 year old...) that both parents had same teeth problems and transmitted this to puppies... but HE never noticed it!!
I could have made the same mistake myself, I must admit... but my dogs have been bonitated and I've been to shows with experienced judges who check everything, even teeth!
