I have a 9 month old gyp that in the last month or so have noticed that she is really straight behind  Is this something she might out grow since she wasn't really like this when I got her? Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk |

She is straight stifled and most likely will not change. The rear end should have more angulation for endurance. No reason the dog can't do her job but that rear end is not likely to have a lot of endurance.

Thanks, she isn't in heat, just stays swollen looking . I am going to see if I can get a better pic of her. Love her personality, showed her a pig twice and she caught so am waiting till she hits the year mark before using her.

Maybe just an awkward growth spurt? I've seen several where their rear end grew faster than their front and vice versa... if that makes sense. But they all seemed to even out around a year old.

This is interesting...I've never had to deal with this myself. Does she sit or lay funny? Or use both hind legs at the same time when running?

Runs and plays fine, go for walks in woods no problems, she's heavy but everytime we go hunting and she stays home she eats the kennel, so I give her bones to chew on.

She should be able to do her job but one thing I would ck. if she were mine is have someone stand her straight up and give a lil push forward right on the point of the hock. If that hock moves forward, essentially bending the wrong way, you have a condition called slipped hocks. That is a serious weakness in the rearend. You find that slipped hock occasionally with straight stifled dogs.

I think those straight stifled dogs are susceptible to knee issues, ACl type issues. U see allotta straight stifled heavier bully ab's. The straight stifled and heavy weight cause issues , your dog being a little lighter than the dogs I'm talking about works in her favor

Training dogs is not about quantity, it's more about timing, the right situations, and proper guidance...After that it's up to the dog...

I tried it and they don't move forward. So hopefully this is just a growing spurt. Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk |
