East West Feet - advice needed - Page 1

I would say it is just a structural fault, or abnormality. nothing that was caused by bad breeding,  as some of the best breedings out there can produce a pup who goes east/west in the front.

I could see possibly being cause by being kept on slick floors,  but then gain wouldn't it correct itself once the pup was on a surface where they could get a good footing?

I have seen some people use blocks to teach the dog to stand correctly. mainly an american show thing.

I had a german showline male once whose front was soo bad,  it looked like someone had broke his ankles (or pasterns) and reset them to heel at a bad angle.  he was out of a very good litter.  I didn't get him till he was 12 months old.  and I didn't notice his front when I drove to pick him up.  while looking at him,  he was held in high grass and I could see his feet.  only saw it once I got him home onto pavement and shorter cut grass.

I just think these things happen

I have a feeling that breeding has something to do with it also.........just look at people........horses, cows, cats.........
