Is she showing any signs of LP when she walks or runs?

Barbara can I ask U what are the signs of LP when they walk or run??? None of mine have LP but I'm just wondering what the signs are. I have a few runners in my pack such as Sage and Galahad...Should I watch them with their running when they all go out to play in the back yard & our Sage is a heck of a jumper. Just wondering can they hurt their knees by playing like this and cause LP??? U know me ask questions all the time Lee
