    I don't have a lot of puppy experience and the vid was a bit stop start for me but it does look like a slightly strange gait. All I can suggest is you get him to a vet for a checkup.....

    Hi, I agree with Barbara. Best thing get vet to check him out. It does seem strange.

    I agree, it seems like he has a problem on his left side somehow. Might be worth seeing your vet sooner then Friday to limit any possible damage.

    I think I would be visiting the vet before Friday. I must admit thought it might be back right, but so difficult to tell.

    I thought back left - kind of turns inward at the hock as he puts his weight on it. Let us know how he goes at the vets :) I would try to get an appointment sooner as well.

    When did you get him and is the breeder far away?
