Carraghs Gem 1,675 Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 My saluki lurcher pup 5mths is in the middle of a growth spurt... He looks to be standing a little... Funny? Just a bit of kilter... A bit flat footed on his back end like hes standing more on his heels Is this just a normal part of his growth spurt or is this the begining of a problem or a dietary issue?

skycat 6,174 Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 Is he at the end of a 'kangerooing' stage? First the back end goes up, then the front end: makes them look really weird sometimes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Carraghs Gem 1,675 Posted July 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 Could be...hes in the middle of a growth spurt I think as hes gone skinny again... I panic'd when I spotted it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

First the back end goes up, then the front end: makes them look really weird sometimes. so thats what you call it when your pup wont stop jumping around 3/4 ft in the hair tryna jump up at me so is this common with lurcher pups or just saluki based?

skycat 6,174 Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 That's a classic example of the back end 'kangerooing' Moll How old was he there? About 4-5 months? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moll. 1,770 Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 Yes Gem, that was the Rude boy as a youngster.....god i panicked when i saw him like that on the photo With being a 1st cross i had visions of one end looking like a greyhound and the other looking like a bull as an adult Spot on Sky, he was 5mths Quote Link to post Share on other sites
beast 1,884 Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 hard to say without a picture but moll and skycat are right, saplings often look VERY STRANGE!!! for a while! i shouldnt worry too much. unless the dog still looks like that aged 12 months!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
