yeah, he's the 8month old i was going to get from MI. there's NO WAY i'm going to buy a cow-hocked dog though...unless it was a pet.

Even if you hadn't asked that was the first thing I saw. It's just really, really noticeable.

Good luck finding a new baby :)

Oh, and good luck with the blue pup!! Thats exciting!! :D

He is definately cow-hocked. Here is a picture of a cow hocked Great Dane for those who don't know what the term means. The back feet are turned outwards...

*EDIT* We all must have posted pictures at the same time! :eek:

it can. it depends on how sevear the cow hocks are. it's not painful or uncomfortable though.

he's going to be born in June. i'll bring him home in August. yes, i get pick of the litter. the reason why is i was suppose to get a black female from the breeder and she decided to keep her. she felt so bad she promised me POL from this upcomming litter.

...now for the wait till i bring him home!

Never heard of such thing in dogs...

its kinda like being pigeon toed in a way.
