crooked legs?

Post by youngbeagler32 »

What exactly are crooked legs? I've heard of dogs being pigeon toed, would these dogs be considered to have crooked legs?
Thanks

Usually crooked legs refer to the term "fiddle Front". The legs are out at the elbows, in at the ankles, with the feet pointed out. Crooked rear legs usually are cow hocked. The legs bend inward to the ankles then out toward the feet.
