Hi all, so I have a husky x malanois and she is nearly 6 months old. She walks, runs and jumps fine. Where my old husky had hip dysplasia I find myself looking for issues. She tends to sleep or lay down with her front paws folded back but she never walks with what they call knuckling. Are these habits normal as they grow?
I understand she is still growing and I can feel her shoulder blades quite prominent when she lays down as they push up. Think I’m just over worrying though to be honest.
In any case I have her booked in for a health check on Monday just to make sure she’s growing as she should etc

Thanks for reading

With the caveat that I can't actually see what is going on, and I am not a vet. it all sounds normal to me. But the health check should set your mind at rest.
