pokey Webboard User Reg: 09-19-2001 Posts: 1 Loc: riverton utah Offline	I have a 3.5 month old German Shepherd puppy who's back legs are very cow-hocked. Although they have gotten less cow-hocked in the past 3 weeks I'm very conserned. I took him back to the breeder and he said he would grow out of it in time if not he would give me a new puppy from the next litter. Has any one had a puppy whose back legs were cow-hocked and straightned out? What does this cause later on, health wise. Thanks Pokey

Butch Crabtree Webboard User Reg: 01-14-2002 Posts: 966 Loc: louisiana/texas Offline	I have a five year old female that was cow hocked as a pup, she has straightened up quite a bit. Still visiable when you look from the rear. A layperson might not notice her stance. It has not affected her ability to do schutzhund. I think this is a genetic disorder as one of her pups also shows to be cowhocked. if you don't mind, what bloodline is your dog from?? what exercise is used to help this condition??
