'Lose Sprunggelenke' would be loose ankles or slack hocks.
'Engtretened' means the hocks and metatarsals are touching or nearly touching during gaiting. It used to be called 'hackeneng' in breed surveys which literally translates to 'narrow hocks'. In this country the concept has found itself into the colloquialism 'cow hocked' .
Try it yourself: stand up, press your ankles together, now walk. You are now engtretend.
Could a dog get a V and a Kkl1 with this gait? These days dogs get all sorts of strange ratings and titles - it's been beat to death here in the recent past. In Scheld's comments to me just a few weeks ago when we had a discussion about this very term, engtreten, as well as about bodeneng, he noted that "few judges use the description properly anymore".
