lacking rear angulation 8 months

[mike berlovan]

When my 8 month old male was 8 weeks he had good rear angulation, now at 8 months its not so good. What are the chances of this improving as he matures more? Thank you in advance for responses. Mike & Ludwig.

Mike, I'm not sure what you are seeing, but it has been my experience that both front and rear angulation doesn't really change. At 8 mos though, you are seeing a lot of leg I imagine. Try to evaluate whether you are actually seeing a change in angulation or if perhaps the pup is carrying its weight differently and placing those rear feet forward. What does the topline look like and where is everything when you hand stack so the hocks are perpendicular to the ground?
