Me to no probs with his flat feet he never kicks the thing he's running

[Thrush 181]

I agree with mud, especially with that x and the type of running it's likely to do. Also his feet will probably tighten up a little

With condition! Atb.

If the dogs does what its serpose too..the feet shouldn't come in to it..flat feet don't look pretty but looks don't kill.heart does..

Give the dog a load of road walking. And get him fit before running him again.poor dogs been kenneled up for months like you said. Ide give him a chance but upto you atb shaun

Flat feet are only a problem if the dogs going lame on them,if he's not going lame there not a problem.

Give him sum calci D and plenty of road work theyll soon tighten up, but being a bull x hes never going to have feet as good as a saluki,deerhound etc

A lot of road work dog needs as said some bull x have flat feet get dog fit an try dog again mate

I personally wouldn't worry about that I'd give him a month get abit of condition in him get him used to the kennel and learn him ji job and if he hasn't improved find him somewhere else to live I wouldn't give up on him to easy

Flat feet are common in this x i'm afraid. Although not many with bad looking feet have problems. Give him plenty of roadwork and they'll lift a little but will never be 100%. If the dog grafts decent enough without too many knock's to the feet i can't see a problem with it tbh.

A load of road work will soon tighten the feet up

Is that dig called spike mate

[Maximus Ferret 2,063]

As above, it's common in that cross and roadwork should improve and strengthen the feet. Once he's been walked a few weeks maybe try trtting him beside a bike.

I'd just like to add though, those feet aren't too bad, I've seen them a lot worse than that.
