I think the dogs are adorable. Charlie does have that orthopedic problem. The vet said it may pose to be a problem later on.. but unless it bothers her we shouldn't worry about it.

I agree with what they are saying.. you do see the parents and the potential health risks, but you will just have to decide for yourself! Charlie's front leg being bowed out was noticable early on.. others didn't notice it, but I could probably tell at a few months that she would have a leg that could almost turn outward.. like she was double jointed!

That is a pic of Charlie where you can see her right leg bowing outwards. It can turn even more.. so it isn't actually so bad in this pic, but you get the idea.

The vet just said that it can lead to problems where it causes them pain and such.
