bad hips?

hi all. i might jus be worrying. but when indie walks, her hips really sway from side to side. if u get me. she looks like she has a weird wobble.
Im worried she might have problems with her hips? shes always walked like this i think.

Quite a few girlys walk this way I wouldnt be too worried Jen

max walks like a right wolly but my dog trainer said its fineand he will walk better as he get older he is just a floppy little boy at the moment so maybe its their age jenny

Rocky sways from side to side too but only when hes walking slow, soon as he walks a little faster or runs it dissapears

Luna does this too Jenny, I went to the vet, and he said its very common!

So no worries

When Tam walks it looks like she's swaying her hips

All three of mine sway thier hips when they walk

Pheww Cuz my puppy does this too...lol...and I was worried also.

Today after Keena had been playing with another dog a few months older than her and we put them on the leads to walk I said to this stranger who owned the other dog that I was trying to watch how his dog walked because I had never taken much notice before and had never owned a big dog before either so I had no comparrison to make...He laughed at me, but anyway! His dog swayed a little but not as much as Keena does!...

Keena's sway starts at the rib area and moves to her hips, it's kind of in an S movement and I have been paranoid that she might have had bad hips or may have them in the future...Mostly because I have been guilty of walking her on some long walks when she was a bit too young and I didn't know that could be bad until I read that you really shouldn't walk a large breed dog for to long each time when they are puppies because it can affect their bones in the future. I felt awful when I read that and I became convinced, that's it I have ruined her bones!

The sway completly goes away when she starts to walk quite fast or begins to run also as others have said. It is mostly when she walking at a slow pace and is making long strides.

I do feel slighly better now though after having read this thread.

I bet we are all as paranoid as each other when it comes to owning a puppy...I worry about her health more than I do my own!

lol...aww Max...lol at him walking like a right wolly! That's cute.
