Breeders do look at the Navhda test results to help pick dogs with traits needed to hopefully correct a downfall or some shortcomings in their perspective breed.

I have seen more than one or two litter mates exhibit the same trait during some ortion of a the NA test.

For Utility the simlar segments of the test completed or scored poorly on may be an indicator of some trait yo might want to replace with some other breeding.

But anyone who trains for Utility has more dog to use as a tool while they hunt and that is the main reason I train. I use mine for all aspects of and all species of upland and waterfowl hunting. All the testing does for me is tell me where my holes are in training as the dog is tested and scored against a Standard from a composite score derived from a group of 3 judges.
