I think my Aussie boy may have hip displaysia.  He sits unusually and when her runs, he bunny hops.  I will be getting him tested mid September.  He’s such a funny dog with a good sense of humor.  I hope it ain’t so.

Raven sits differently.  Her back end is tucked under her, which is normal.  Though the crate appears to be short for her stature, she’s leaning on her front paws.  But she does this outside the crate too.  So I have had many of her parts checked.  Both her elbows and hips came out clear.  So did her neck, ears, and back.  Yet she refuses to jump her full height in AKC agility.  Such questions about why cannot always be answered.  I am working with her on exercises we learned at the Liz McGuire seminar last month.
