Parker1 5 Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 Im just after some advice, im relativly new to the lurcher world and have a bull cross pup that has just turned 7 months old and her back feet seem to turn out more than my other dogs (labradors). they were worse when she was younger they have straightened slightly as she as got older. i was wondering if anyone else has had pups like this? the pup did have a bad start to life and was in very poor condition, but is now in otherwise good nick standing 24 tts at 7 months old Quote Link to post

tote 870 Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 Google "cow hocked in dogs" and see if that's what you mean. Quote Link to post

mikeball 108 Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 I'm sure someone with much more knowledge than me will be along in a min mate. If it was my dog I'd suck it and see, time will tell I suppose. Atb 1 Quote Link to post

beast 1,884 Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 i had a pup turned out like this, she also didnt have the best of starts but i fed her plenty of calcium supplements and vit D and a good general diet and although the legs didnt completely straighten they were not too bad to look at by a year old. she ended up one of my best all round dogs ever, dont thin k it affected het performance at all 1 Quote Link to post
