I have a question about puppies and toeing out (easty/westy front). If a puppy is slightly toeing out at 12 weeks can that correct itself when the puppy gets older? I have heard the term about 'when the chest drops' that sometimes this will correct a front that is just a little off. What are you thoughts on this and at what age does the chest drop?
Yes, the chest can drop and do some correcting but the shoulder placement I think still has a lot to do with the front like the toes being eastie westie. ?depends on the lines in my opinon some develop later than others. Knowing your lines will pretty much tell you at what age somethings will correct itself and if not. Like Radar's gold....his lines shade out richer at a later age. So when he was younger his gold was lighter and now that he's mature his gold is very very nice. I knew that from his lines
