@PojkenMedTejpen It's when the cerebellum never fully developed from birth. The cerebellum is the part of your brain responsible for your motor skills. Basically the only thing really affected is the way his brain tells his legs, head, etc. to move. Like it's not quite sending the full signal a normal cerebellum would. At least that's how I understand it.
Thank you so much for sharing. Our Maltese pup has the same condition. Our vet wanted to put him down when he was 3 weeks old and we refused. We've been working with him to help him learn to walk, and I've discovered he can swim pretty well to build his legs muscles up. He can go walk about 7-8 feet before falling over, but of course we are hoping for what your pooch as achieved. :)
Wow he is doing really well. My 12 week old British Bulldog puppy suffers from cerebellar hypoplasia and his balance is not good when he gets outside. I am hoping that he grows out of it as he ages like your dog did. Thank you for posting this video. You've given me hope.
@007ladylane Guillermo had a really hard time at 6 weeks old. He couldn't make it more than 5 or 6 ft before falling, but he also had a broken vertebrae in his back and was very malnourished. He has learned to cope with it really well over the past 3 1/2 years. He even learned to go up and down long flights of stairs. Best of luck with your puppy. You'll be very excited when you see him learn new things.
Gorgeous dog!! Very mild condition too, when compared to most of the other pups on this site with the same condition..you've clearly made his life a very happy one and its plainly obvious that he loves you to bits!! Nice work!!!
Very handsome :) He's exactly the same as my kelpie! but her condition is degenerative - she's at Guilermo's stage now but will get worse unfortunately. But don't you just love seeing the determination in them to do what 'normal' dogs do? :) All the best to you and your magnificant friend.
pat him :(

Do us a favor and give him a tasty bacon treat and a good petting behind the ears on behalf of his internet fans!

What IS "Cerebellar Hypoplasia"?
I've searched it, but I can't find anything about it.

He doesn't have an extended lower jaw. He looks completely normal. It's only his motor skills that are affected by his condition.

Does your dog also have an extended lower jaw?

i love how he swings his head up all fast when you said "outside" . its the best.
& when he waits for you and closes his mouth after a while and his lip gets caught on his teeth a little. its the best
