Oops, photos are reversed. First photo is when his hind end was at its highest, second photo is when I noticed it starting.

i read your post , and thought it's not uncommon for dogs of these breeds to toe out in the rear left , but you said rear right leg , then i seen the video , it is his left rear ? he's more extreme than most , but believe me , toeing out in the rear left is very common , he may be worse due to his rear appears weaker than it should be ........ i'd walk him a lot , as much as i could as long as i saw no discomfort , uphill would be excellent ........ i think often pups are overprotected from exercise and it causes them harm because their strength doesn't keep up with their growth .....my observation has been , the stronger you keep your pup , the better they'll turn out .....

as a side note , Sottile absolutely brought those cane corso from italy , and the only dogs at his house at the time were pitbulls and neo's ........he may have raised rotts before i met him , seems at one time everybody raised them ........

The rear of OPs dog looks like this tan dog in the video and the tan dog seems to be doing alright. [video=youtube;7zhN5NZS9WU]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7zhN5NZS9WU[/video]

The rotties might have been with Valentina not sure, don't pay much attention to the romantic stories of what might or might not have happened.

the only stories i know of cane corso are from mike himself , i was at his house in new jersey several times about his neos .we discussed those dogs long before he imported any...... i always believed there was rott behind the dogs he brought here , not that he did it ......at the time i had no interest in them , they were the italian version of our american bulldog .... he also kept top shelf "gamedogs" ...........anything beyond that is my observation ......

.

as i look through this thread i see cowhocked equated to some type of disability or deformity .........an indication a wolf has domestic dog in it would be that they are not cowhocked , wolves are naturally cowhocked ....... while cowhocked won't win any conformation ribbons it is not an indication of a health problem ....
