What is cow hock ? i think my 9 month old bitch may have the same problem.

Cow Hock is where the 2 back Hocks come inward to each other.......It is very noticeable when moving in a straight line...

very prominent problem with showlines, and has been so for a while. however, it seems that most people ignore it as a fault and focus on alot of other things that aren't as important

If anyone claims that they can exercise a dog out of being cowhocked, they're flat-out lying--it's caused by a flaw in the dog's conformation, and can no more be eliminated through exercise (or any other magic solution) than one could correct an upper arm that's too short, or eyes that are too light. That said, being cowhocked is not the end of the world for a dog's show ring career--it's not a desirable trait, but it's a common one, and difficult to breed out when so many animals have made their contributions to the gene pool despite being cow hocked. Since a cowhocked dog's movement is not as efficient and effortless as a dog that is built correctly, if you're going to show him it is important to keep your dog in top physical condition at all times; if not at the top of his game every time you go into the ring with him, he'll tire more quickly and that will serve to magnify the fault by underscoring the reduced efficiency of the dog's structure.
