smokinbarrels Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 Hi everybody, Sorry for being a pain in the bum, but i've got another question. My Sister has a cocker spaniel and when it walks or runs its almost crab like? His back legs dont run in line with his font legs, he's a fantastic dog and very fit and doesn't seem in any discomfort. Is this normal for a cocker spaniel? or has it been caused by a genetic defect or over exercise at a young age? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks Q Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lurcherboy Posted September 8, 2007 Report Share Posted September 8, 2007 Sweep alternates between the two and does a left and right walk that makes him look like a bouncer, You would have to see it to understand. My Saluki cross does it too depending on what speed I am walking at. I would guess that they walk whatever way is comfortable for them given the conditions and speed.

MadSpringer Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 Some do and some don't! I like a spaniel that crabs, they are often very stylish hunters! Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
