    Hi all,

    Hollie has had her second walk and first off lead run......she loved it!!!! And her recall was fab :)



    My concern is when she runs her left back leg kicks out to the side????

    Is this the dreaded hip dysplasia?


    Thanks in advance

    Can you get a vid?

    Young Labs don't always run with the most elegant of styles.... It isn't necessarily anything to worry about in and of itself. But a vet can check for any looseness in his joints if you want to get it looked at next time you are in :)

    When Bouncer runs it is like a completely random blur of legs. It is probably normal but no harm in getting it checked out by the vet.

    Thanks everyone,


    Not sure if you have seen the utube clip with the Irish pug who can't run, have a look if you haven't it's very funny, anyway Hollie isn't as bad as the pug but nearly!!!!!
