Hi All,
A little advice and reassurance needed please.
When Indy sits her back legs sort of splay out from underneath her, it's a bit hard to describe, but when a dog normally sits, their feet are tucked straight under their bums, Indy's sort of turn out to the sides and she looks 'untidy' is the best word I can use, also it's a bit like she's got a fat a*se and it's causing her legs to spread,( she hasn't btw).
OH says she looks like a sack of spuds when she sits.
Also when she goes into a down from a sit, she goes down flat and her feet are at right angles from her body so she looks like a letter T.
I'm dancing round it, so I'll just come out with it, could there be something wrong with her hips?
When we got her, the breeder said the litter hadn't been hip scored and I didn't think to ask why not, and now I'm torturing myself with all sorts of nasty thoughts.
Does anybody elses puppy sit like Indy, she's 16 weeks tomorrow and I've only really noticed it in the last couple of weeks, she runs and jumps and has no difficulty climbing into my flower beds, is it just me being daft and over protective again?
