Cheers guys,hopefully it will straighten up,the right hock seems to sit further in than the left side,its back feet point at roughly 5 to 1 if you understand[hard to describe]very frustrating

seen this before on my mates pup ! got better as it matured ! but stick with walking on a hard surfaces ! think this can happen if the pup on hind legs all the time ie: board at cupboard or bed locked in and wanting out ! think some times can be born like this aswell ! maybe lack of calcium ??????? but good luck with it anyway hope it gets sorted soon

One of the best Lurchers I've ever seen is "cow hocked"; he'd never win a show, but, by, can he do the job !!! Your pup is very young, give it time, it will probably even up.

 

Cheers.

Cow Hocked is where a dogs "rear elbows", the hocks, turn inwards towards each other and the rear feet turn outward. The oposite is Bow Hocked, where the rear legs are bowed. Both are major faults in the show ring, but unless greatly exagerated have little or no effect on a dogs running.

 

Cheers.
