A friend called tonight and asked I could get information on a young litter of 3-4 weeks. They are large babies who are not big on exercising. They are rather couch potatoes. They have been observed with the rear legs stretched out and appear to be kind of stuck in that position. Hand manipulation gets them back to moving with front and rear equally. Has anyone observed this, and what effect does it have on the puppies' development ? Thanks for your input. Linda Battistoni Encore GSD --------------------------------- Yahoo! Messenger with Voice.
