Help with my Year old Australian Shepherd

[M.Carinata]

Hi guys,

I've got a vet appointment in a couple of days time but I would like to know if you guys have seen this before? My boys back feet seem to stick outwards like a penguin? He still runs and hoots around the park but after he's been resting and he gets up, he limps

any help is appreciated!

Looks like a conformation problem to me.

Hopefully just a benign confirmation problem. But X-rays will confirm either way...good luck

Beautiful pup. I'm hoping to get one later down the track.

I second the conformation problem. Good luck.

Thanks guys

I agree, just poorly conformed. May be from the parents or just a one off with one puppy. Hope everything turns out alright.

You see this in a lot of the smaller breeds usually, like the Maltese x Bichon, or the JRT x whatever, so perhaps your pup simply has a genetic link to a breed (even if it's a throw back from a few generations) that commonly shows this.

Did you get any insight from the vet?
