I think you mean cow HOCKED. It deals with the fact the legs are not "straight". Movement, speed and agility will require more effort and be less effective than a dog with better structure. Essentially when viewing the dog from the rear while it is standing, the hocks (what looks like an elbow) will point or curve outward. The opposite condition, that joint curving inward is sickle hocked.

Unless a working or performance dog, it is not likely to be problem if that is all that is wrong

alan was that the one about the lad had the dog an was thinking of breeding of it,,,,,i should hav red it an heres me with the same problem

Figure 14

 

When the dog moves the forces of movement will cause the joints to flex laterally, absorbing energy and causing undue stress on the joints. This will wear the joints and tire the dog.
