| Backward legs? I was browsing through yorkie rescues and found a baby that was born with what they called "backward legs". I never heard of this Can anyone tell me what this is? He's the adorable little guy about 1/2 way down the page named Scuba. http://www.yorkierescueme.com/ourdogs.asp

| From what I can tell in the pictures it looks like maybe his right leg is where his left leg should be a vice versa. Poor guy. He has the sweetest little face. |

| I tried to find out exactly what it meant this is all I could find on backward legs. " Faith had three legs, but her left front leg was badly deformed and backward. The paw was upside down had more toes than normal. The leg eventually was removed" |

| Did I read that right? A month old 1lb baby is being fostered as a rescue? Where's the breeder in all this? Maybe I didn't understand what I read. There's 2 babies there. Scuba and Beetle. Same age and weight. With a leg deformity also.?????

| I had to go back and look for the other baby. So sad The only thing I could find on backwards legs was a dog that was breed and had pups at 12 years of age, one of the pups was born with 3 legs and her 3rd leg(front) was backwards and was amputated. She is now the only dog known to walk on two legs like a human. She has been on Oprah. |

| Beetle Female1 months , 1 lbs Beetle bug was born with a deformity in her hind legs and will need to have them repaired prior to going to a home. Watch for updates and in the meantime, if you can help us to pay for her surgery, please click on the donate button to your left! Even the smallest donations add up & help! If you are approved contact Jen: 717-264-9799 or jenquigley@gmail.com. poor puppys they have been born with deformed legs seems like overbreeding or inbreeding to me!

| Oh, I wish I could save all of them. They are all so sweet. I have an especially warm feeling about Alfie. Wish I could bring him home to play with Jackson.
