My best dog had his Achilles cut in two by a boar several years ago.  Nearly bled out before I got him to the vet but they pulled the bottom portion up and the top portion down and reattached it the next day during surgery.  Like some above said, he was in a full cast so no weight would be put on that leg.  I had a hard time with him not trying to tear the cast off and had to finally have a super hard one put on, but all that happened about 200-300 hogs ago for him.  Smiley   Grin Grin Grin  You can look at it and tell something happened bc it kinda sticks out to the side but he is a beast regardless.  I would say he is at least 70-80% on it.  Only time I can really tell it bothers him is on LONG hunts in the winter when we may hunt 6 or 7 hours.  He will pick it up some but that's it.
