Forgive me, I'm typing w/ one hand. I screwed up my left wrist somehow...so I appologize for any typos ahead of time.
What often happens is that as the pup grows because of congenitally tightened ligaments and shorter tendons, the dogs spine will becin to "creep" up and curve allowing the dogs rear legs to be fully under them allowing for better mobility on their part. A dogs legs at a relaxed stand w/ good stifles should not be directly under the dog. It doesn't mean that there for sure isn't a structural problem, but there then would be no symptoms present to indicate any lower back/stifle/hock insufficency. |
Thats fine...I'm typing in the dark and on my laptop..so excuse my typos too
I will post a pic of her tomorrow since this is a new laptop and I have no pictures on here and feeling kinda lazy to get up and go downstairs to get on my home computer and plus Mimi & Timmy are sleeping right next to me.. don't want to wake them...oh and my fiancee snoring is butt off right next to me..I've been kicking him every 2 mins because he's too loud...this is the only time I can get one on him...lol
Anyway you've been very helpful and I will get a pic of her on here so you could see.
