A wiggle in her walk

she looks to have an outstanding rear on her ........ i've had quite a few with a wiggle that extreme ...... if i got or can get a video of my dogue izzy she looks like that at that pace ..... that is a fast walk , did you ever see someone race walking ?
I think agility and walking a lot of grassy hills and trails instead of sidewalk walks have really increased her muscle tone in the back end area... That and her rediculously over energetic play sessions with Yogi

Lillie has always had a body builder type of body and LMAO at the rollovers.
Lol, I know, most of the time Yogi isn't even rolling her, she's just doing it. She's a big fan of the body slams and fly by's, too. It just cracks me up how much more efficient he is and how much more energy she expends when they play.

Max walks the same way and he's now 200 pounds. He gained a bit after his neuter and is on a reduction plan....more carrot/less kibble. He's always had a wiggle butt. He's been weak in his rear after a puppy fall, but I'm neurotic about him falling/jumping/climbing or being too crazy outside because I'm afraid of an injury. My husband says he's a giant breed, not a fragile one. We do get a lot of laughs at his swagger!

Thank you! I am so pleased with her! She's genuinely pretty athletic. She might end up being a bit small but just turned a year old so has some bone and muscle to build, yet, so we'll see.

You could start slowly conditioning him to build muscle. When we go to the park I skip the paved trails and we just walk up and down the little hills that the trails meander through. That does wonders! A wobble board would really help build muscle, balance and back end awareness. I just googled DIY wobble boards for dogs myself and there's tons of easy and inexpensive instructions to make one.
