Did it hinder its mobility or grow out of it or lame in its back end

Sounds like hip dysplasia but the pup is young so it is unlikely...

She had it in both hips. Vet checked her at about 4 months and said she would only get worse with age

Had a Basset Hound at 5 months was doing that and was walking not right like a normal gait. Had him x-rayed at 5 months old and was hip dysplasia.

He is 14 years old and still going strong. Runs every morning when I go out to feed. Lucklily it has not been an issue.

Bunny hops just like when he was a puppy. I maintained constant same weight his whole life to help prevent pressure on his hips.

X-ray at 5 months old
