[QUOTE=Deviruchi;4573351]@gemy whenever i walk him, its about 25-30 min per session. and usually we do it 2-3x a day
and as for the sickle hock thing you pointed out.. do you think if i ask the vet about it, she'd know and see how he is? i mean.. she didn't even point out that his back was curved so i'm not sure if she'd know. lol.. thank you for explaining what it is, but i'm still not really getting it.. watched the vid like 5x now, focusing on his leg, but still not sure.. x_x;
on
here, it says the one in the right is sickle hock, but when i'm looking at kupo, his leg doesn't look like that.. should i try to take another vid later and see? (i'm probably in denial.. lol)[/QUOTooE]
Understand that many photos of issues or problems show the extreme of that problem. Look at the Dogsteps video I posted earlier and really study it.
Sickle hocked as I explained earlier is the failure of the hock joint to extend and or flex fully when the dog is walking trotting etc. It is not so much positional as shown in that static photo but shows itself clearly on movement.
Look at show Yorkies and try to objectively compare your dog to these pics. Cute is no reason to breed a dog - they need a lot more than cute. And quite frankly dogs don't think about wanting to be a father or a mother. That is we humans who want this. Also read these threads in the breeding library if you have not already.
