    Hi. I’ve got a 13 week bitch Labrador puppy. Looking for some advice. She’s from working parents with good pedigree behind her. I’m starting to get concerned about her front legs. Do you think there normal and she’s just growing or is it something I should be concerned about.
    How do I attach photos of her to this post?

    I would see your vet. I would also ask your breeder if the any of the other pups have any problems. Her legs are unusually bowed and I think you need a vet consult to make sure there's nothing wrong.

    With the current situation send a few photos to the vet and ask if they will see you. If it’s anything like here they will come out to the car and collect your pup.

    Hi, did you have the vet look at pups legs, your dog has exactly the same issue as my 12 week Pup but vets don’t seem overly concerned?
    Thanks

    Hi Leanne
    Can you post a picture, a link to a picture, or add a picture of your pup's legs to your profile picture?

    I have a purebred chocolate male puppy with the same look. Please tell me what you found out. We took ours to the vet and they want to do X-rays and send the X-rays to a specialist for maybe genetic issues. please respond. thank you
