i agree with this. when i read that your puppy walks like that i immediately thought luxating patellas. Does she have an arched back too? Or does she have a funny permanent walk where she looks like she's pooping but that is just the way she moves?
sometimes these little ones are so badly bred that they are born with luxating patellas. i fostered a chihuahua who walked like yours and like the way i described. she had to have both legs operated on before a year old.
definitely have your vet check for it, maybe even do x-rays, and then if he finds it to be true, have him put it in writing just in case you need it in your case against the breeder.
