We have been looking at a few dogs from a rescue and there's one that looks like a total sweetie but he has hip issues. I'll post what the rescue said below but taking into account what they said would you adopt this dog?
He has been xrayed because I was concerned for his hips. He does not have dysplasia. **His hops are more than 50% in the socket. *He does have bad angulation of the whole back end. Probably a product of bad breeding and being raised in a kennel with poor exercise. *He doesn't let him slow him down. He hops around plays. *He keeps himself on the thin side I think because of it. *He has a large head and chest is starting to fill out and a smaller back end. **He doesn't look perfect but more than makes up for it in loyalty. *
