Okay this may seem a little weird,but anyone care to share some rear shots of their Saints that are around a year old???? Tub has a funny stance with his rear legs and I don't know if it's because he's at that gangly stage or if he has some sort of problem.It's almost like he is a little bow legged.Any thoughts???

I don't have any pictures of it, but my Dolly's back legs are extremely bow-legged. It's just from her bad breeding. But I'll try to see if I MIGHT have a pic of it and just don't know it. She's nearly 3 and there's not much we can do about it though. We avoid stairs with her and help her get into the car. It's very possible your Saint's legs could be bow-legged too. It's fairly common in Saints. :(

Grace will be 10 mo soon. No proper pictures, but maybe they will give some idea - her back legs are not so bad (she is very poor breeding)

And here is link to pictures that I took at our St.bernard show, so all dogs there are quite good, up to standard, and there are many shots from rear. Hope it will help you!

And i have question in turn - how active was your pup at 9 -10 mo? My girl is hyperactive, she is wearing out all 3 of my GSD and I would like to know when she will start to calm down? :)

Thanks for the pics,your babies are adorable.Tub's legs look a little different,then your guys.I'm going to have to try and get some shots of his rear ;)
Your ? - I would say as each month passed he has calmed down more,he is getting close to as calm as Butt(4 Yrs)and he is 13 mths now.

I looked through all my pics of Bubba and Lola and I really don't have any 'rear' shots. If they will cooperate I'll see if I can get some in a few minutes and post them shortly.
-
Ok, Bubba was completely uncooperative, apparently he doesn't want his rear end posted on the internet. LOL
I did get one of Lola though. She's not standing completely straight but it works. ;)
-
Thanks Lyn-I had the pic blown up to see the legs good and thought if anyone walks in and sees a big blown up pic of a Saint rear on my screen ,they would think I have lost what little mind I have left ;)Looking at Lola pic,Tub doesn't look anything like that.His legs seem to turn outward.I made an appt to see the Vet on Thursday after,so we'll see what he says.I'm still going to try and get some pics of him though.

Teddy's back legs toe out a little bit, unfortunately, I don't have any pics that will help.
His front legs are quite toed out. He's from a BYB so just poor breeding I assume.
Teddy is almost 2.
