Do you think she has an issue with her front legs? I am not certain to can see much from the pictures but she appears to have straight legs and tight feet so no issues with Dwarfism that is apparent.

Thank you for reply.
No i just read feet should point forward and her right foot looks a little out biased but i am not experienced on this type.

She could be a little easty westy but to be honest on puppies unless it is extreme it can be hard to tell when they are not in a stacked position as they are so malleable and soft that often times things can be mistaken

It's called East/West. Sometimes puppies outgrow it. Or it can be corrected a tiny bit by walking the dog a lot a certain way with a very tight and short lead. Or some say keeping the dog on gravel surface for extended periods help.
But that is kind of prominent so I wouldn't bank on it going away all together.

It usually is only an issue if you want to show your dog.

the only way to accurately judge a dogs conformation is to see it move .......they sit and stand in all types of awkward positions ...... seems to me as those toed out dogs footfall gets nearer to center it straightens right out , kinda like that's how it needs to be for the foot to fall to be straight when the dog single tracks ..... you'll see wide fronted breeds that are almost totally straight footed in the front , like bully american bulldogs , when they move toward center they toe in , it is a terrible movement i do not believe is sustainable or healthy , but to see them stand you'd think it looks as it should be ...... at least that's my opinion

Thanks everyone.
This is 3rd day with this wonderful pup and she is great.
I will take a video but captured these.
Seems they are fine but masters should look:)

No i dont want to show and i also read blue eyes are disqualified at shows?
I guess this will turn grey;so i did not understand the issue...is it when adult and blue?

Yes it is when they are blue as an adult, as you can not show anything under 6 months unless there is a baby puppy class (not sure if you guys have that in AKC). It is always hard to get good pictures of a moving puppy :)

you can see the footfall is inline with the movement , i believe that was the more turned out foot in the first set of pics ? ......... i've been through a lot of dogs selecting only big dogs that could run for long periods of time , i truly believe toed out is anatomically correct for those dogs .....

Yes blue puppy eyes usually change color. Yes its called a disqualifying fault if the eyes are still blue as an adult.

Beautiful pup, i think her chheks are going to be like my middle cc, not over gowly, he gets slingers but nowhere near as many as my other 2.

He appears to have a tighter muzzle, not much excess lip so you should not have a super wet dog. Likely drooling when treats are presented, drinking, etc. We have had the excess lip as well as tighter ones (a lot can be predicted based on parents) and the tighter ones certainly make less of a mess when it comes to the slingers we find around the house.

Funny thing is;we did not see her parents yet!
Just grabbed her from our friends farm.

I d like to read some comments about our girl:)
Thx.
Welcome to the forum! These pups grow so fast and my girl would grow faster sometimes in the rear legs....then a month later it would be in the front legs. If you really are concerned perhaps a vet check is in orders
