I wouldnt say there's anything about this pup that screams hip dysplasia...but you can tell its more in the individual bones themselves. She's tremendously long hocked and long in the pasterns. Her front end looks very stiff and she appears to be flinging limbs out to the sides when she moves.
My pup walked like that, but to a higher extreme. We were really worried he would have something like hip dysplasia, it got to the point where his legs were so stiff he couldn't walk. He was diagnosed with Pano, which is where they grow too fast and experience sharp muscle pains and stiffness . It's nothing too serious, they grow out of it eventually and it won't cause any damage. My pup has to take daily Glucosamine to lubricate the bones, and he walks fine now.
she also got alot of sway in her hips my kelpie had that it turned out that she had a slip something out in her hips causeing her to walk and move almost identical to this we took her to the chiro
She is so adorable!

You can see how disproportionate her limbs.

She walks a lot like Kai. Dysplasia with maybe some back or shoulder issues.
