I usually figure at about 9-10 weeks, the croup will be

Do any of you have different experiences as to the age when your puppies
develop in that area?

My favorite time to look is five weeks...but I squint when they throw those
little tails up at that age and mess up the croup picture, lol. Admittedly,
shoulders are always there if they are going to be there at all, rear
assemblies do seem to develop and change w/ age...some dogs drop, some come
up. It
can be a shot in the dark w/ unfamiliar lines....I'm still looking for the
"lion cub" long stride at a walk at 5 weeks:) AND I want a deep, shorter
coupled "chunky" puppy, w/ depth to their stifle w/ short hocks whose knees
and
feet look a size to big lol. If everything "fits" at a young age, IMO they
look too refined as an adult.
