    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

    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!

    Lucky you! Pick of the litter? Awesome So he's going to be born in June, or coming home in June?

    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!
