dog question

[Scott Gentry]

my pup is now just over one year old and has developed and odd habit she likes too lay with her hips rotated too the sides and her legs straight behind her. hips flat and legs fully extended. im curious if this is cause for concern i was gonna have her hips certified and all that but im now positive i will never breed her im just concerned of undue stress on her hind quarters also how would one corect this behavior / habit?

Nope- have had several dogs do that

Scott, my dog lays like a frog all of the time if this is what you're talking about.

I have had a few that lay like that also.... It's a sign intelligence, fine breeding, marking ability, hunting drive and all around cute.... John
