Default Fastest three legged dog in the east!

Hi everyone. I've introduced myself and my lil' Buddy.. now I'm curious and have a question. You can't tell by the pics I've posted but Buddy only has three good legs. When we got him at 3 months the lady we bought him from said his back leg has always been straight (It's completely straight and doesn't bend at all.) The vets (three different ones) have all said theres no real threat with him having a bad leg and he uses it when he runs and stands. The only thing the vet told me was to keep his weight in check and only let him get around 10 pounds... well Buddy doesn't over eat.. actually he barely eats so its not like hes being over fed. He's 14 pounds though. Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone has ever had a yorkie that had a straight back leg? The vet said it was probably broken when he was born because it doesnt seem to bother him. It's like he doesnt even realize its different. It worries me that his leg is straight, he jumps off the couch like he's a super rabbit or something! I just want to keep him safe! Thanks for listening.
