If you want the truth the answer is that your puppy will be cow hocked no matter if you give any Glucosamin or condrotine.Usually is a genetic problem which is transmited by some dog lines more than other.¿From which lines comes your puppy?
In the last Congress of the SV this topic was included because of the great importance. Breeders should avoid this dogs but for a pet is no problem.
Wish you luck with your puppy.Regards

Dogs are cow hocked because of a misalignment of the knee joint. If the tibia is aligned in the knee joint slightly to the right the dog will be "cowhocked" when viewed going away, if the alignment in the knee joint is slightly to the left the dog will "toe in" when viewed going away.
Dr. Riser at the OFA showed this to me on many x-rays of GSD puppies quite a few years ago.
