He has certified hips. He shows discomfort when I try to force him to sit properly. Your vet can do xrays and manipulation to determinate if his knees are his problem.

So I don't think you should worry toooooo much... But if you're curious or concerned, best bet is to schedule an appointment. :) Two of my mother’s Chesapeake Bay Retrievers sit like this, and their hips are both certified as Excellent… So I don’t think you should worry toooooo much… But if you’re curious or concerned, best bet is to schedule an appointment. :)

It could be an anatomy issue with Tatum instead of bad hips. Tatum is very straight, in the front and the back, and that could be why she sits crooked. He Debbie.

Just thought I'd comment that I can understand your worries about the dog in the picture sitting sideways. Is she longer than she is high? She actually looks like she has to kind of bend herself a bit to sit straight so maybe it's just her anatomy rather than possible hip issue? She also looks really young so she may be just a little bit lanky still. I think true 'sideways' is when the lay on the hip side. She looks more like she's sitting straight with some 'lankiness' (to me anyway..but I'm no expert.) Hi!

She has dysplasia, so I'm not sure a sit tells you much at all. <abbr><em>Flos last blog post..<a href="http://www.featherfurfin.com/2009/02/of-aging-dogs.html" rel="nofollow">Of aging dogs</a></abbr></em> Just my experience but Nala had a rigid perfect sit where her butt never quite touched the ground.
