separating rottweilers

Question
We have two 7 month old rottweilers at home, one male and one female, who belong to the same litter. We were thinking about separating the two (sending the female to another member of our family), and getting two german sheperds as company for each of them. Is too late to be doing that? And the male rottweiler unfortunately has hip dysplesia. Is it true that it could pass on to its puppies? We've not had much experience with dogs before and its our first time with rottweilers, so we're really not sure what to do.  

Answer
Hello this is very unfortunate I Am sorry to hear he has this problem so early in life...he will likely need hip replacements soon and daily pain meds. Yes it will be passed onto puppies and he shoudnt be bred with his sister if you were wondering if you could. Hip displasia is comm on in rottys/labs but never this young it is likely both dogs carry the poor gene and will pass to puppies. Both should be altered as why would you want to make more rottys that will get hip displasia at 7 months of age? this would be a horrible thing to do with the female avraging 6-10 pups a litter and image if this happened to 5 of six or all of them....how horrid this would be for the dogs owners and for the poor dogs that must suffer because poor quaility dogs were bred...I am not just talking about if you breed the male...stud him out I'm alwso speaking of the femlae even if the stud you find for her is top notch with checked and certified hips it can still happen if she has poor gene's in the family...ie her brother is showing them. If you have them both altered...ghily reccomend...not because I like to alter my dogs and puppies but because I Do care about irisponsable breeding and why people should only breed top quiality papered/hip check/certified hips  dogs. On another note if you do seperat ehtem a german shepard for eahc would make a nice freidn yes if you get two 2 month old puppies as if you get dogs any older they'll likey fight with the new arrival, get a male for the female and a female for teh male never put two males together htey are very likely to fight espesialy if they arent altered, the two females can work but they can fight also.
