I have got a 6 month old pup that really acts good but when it runs it crow hops with its back feet. It runs like a fat 10 week old. I was wondering if anybody has seen dogs that did this & if they will grow out of it?

ive seen dogs act like that, that had bad hips

Are its back feet straight or facing out?

Straight

Hip Dysplasia, if its already showing at that young age I'd almost bet that by 2-3 years old it won't be able to walk. Sadly, I'd have it's hips checked and put it down before you spend a lot of time and money on it, and it's not breeding stock for sure.

definately hips

Sounds like Hip Displasia! A few years back I had one that did the same thing, problem was she was a total natural but by 2 she was "DONE". Have her vet checked if it is put her down...My 2 cents for what it's worth.

I'd say a vet check is next.

Thanks for all of the input. I looked up hip dysplasia on the computer & she shows almost all of the classic symptoms. I kept 4 out of 5 pups & she was my early starter.I got to thinking & remembered a dog ( a mate to the pup's great grandmother) that showed these symptoms too. So I guess it is something that is showing up again now. I hate to but I guess I will just have take care of the problem at home before it gets worse. She seems like she is hurting now after we make a pretty good round. That's why I kept most of the pups. I'll just have to put more time in on the others that are not doing as good as her. Thanks again!
