David Morris Webboard User Reg: 11-28-2002 Posts: 570 Loc: North Carolina Offline	I was looking at a litter of Mal pups and on one of the males that I liked,as I was running my hand across his belly, I noticed that his "belly button" <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> was an outy <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> .I guess thats poor terminology, but anyway it wasnt big or gross or anything at all like that but I just wondered if that was normal or if it means anything at all? Stop making excuses for your dog and start training it!

Here is a good article explaining it it more detail and how the help with the closure. http://www.showdogsupersite.com/kenlclub/breedvet/umbilical.html Hope this helps
