    Let Pup grow through teething, and do not overfeed, over exercise, or deprive of this kind of exercise. Pups go through all kinds of awkward stages. If there is lameness, address it then. Love this silly, loosey goosey stage. They grow up fast.
    Thank you so much for what you said! I also love this silly loosey goosey stage!

    Geez. I feel terrible about posting my experience with my brother's dog after reading other member's post. I am no expert by any means so please do not let my response alarm you. My apologies...

    No No, not at all. Actually no one knows if she has hip dysphasia or not. Even for me, the owner, kind of suspect that. Other posts made me feel better and gave me hope that she is healthy. But thank you for the information as well. Don't feel bad, although I really hope you were wrong.

    She looks perfectly normal to me, i dont see anything odd.

    Keep her at a good weight, dont force excessive, impact type exercise. Everyone is different but i do not allow things like frisbee, excessive jumping. Let her play off leash all she wants, swimming is great for the joints too. I had no tests or anything on my lab like you and she is now 6 and perfectly normal with no joint issues at all. Dont worry to much

    She seems to be a crazy puppy. If she were actually running with her back legs like they were before she took off, then maybe I'd have her looked at, but once she was running in a straight line, she looked normal. If you notice anything, talk to your vet, Hip dysplasia is actually not that difficult or expensive to diagnose.

    Thank you. I hope she was hopping when she was not running just because she was very excited!

    I see a pup enjoying herself...bouncing around and goofing...but running just fine when in actual running mode.

    I've had dogs x-rayed at the time of neutering....the only one I truly suspected of HD, I had PennHIPped (special x-ray technique and analysis...and I was right about the HD). Dan has mild HD, as does his mother...each in both hips. Neither dog bunny hops although Sunnie has shown signs of "something" off as she's aged.
