hip dysplasia?????

Drogo

Hello great job on the forum guys 

I am a first time EBT owner although have alot of experience  with other breeds.

Drogo is an all white standard bull terrier 5 months old from day 1 when I got him about 3,5 months old I noticed that he sits in an odd way (quite cute)

I am wondering if this is normal for bullies or should I be concerned about hip dysplasia.

Thank u and keep up the good work

My Apollo sits the same way. I think it's normal.

Welcome to the Forum Drogo!

Bull Terriers are unlike many other breeds by the way they sit and lay down in the oddest positions. Drogo is sitting in a position that is common for a Bull Terrier and looks like he's perfectly comfortable.

Hip Dysplasia is very uncommon with the BT breed. If your worry is due to his posture on how he sits or lays down with his rear legs behind him you have nothing to worry about about because it's normal for Bull Terriers.

If he didn't sit like that he wouldn't be a Bull Terrier.  When other dogs pretend to be Bull Terriers, the spy masters tell them to sit... if they can't sit like that they know it's another breed going undercover

Thank you all 

Huge relief.

Wait till you see the gator crawl they do:)

Oooops! Why'd ja have to tell him about that one... Now he's gonna think he's got a really weird critter! [..]
I think she's already starting to practice in the last picture up there.

Welcome!  Both of ours sit "funny" and crawl around.  Our boy loves to crawl across the bed and then "slither" off like a snake.  Hysterical!!

Hey Drogo... Just to make you feel better I had the kids give you a left and a right

That's a cool picture! :-bd They are two gorgeous Bullies!

Phil, when you gave them the command "Sit" not only did their butts go down so did their ears. )

Tape, tape, tape or I'll come over there and tape them.

philsergeant

Steve, that's an old pic, their ears are better now, not perfect... I'll post some recent... Here's Marco today.

Maya sits like that...when she's sitting and that's rarely. Ears? Dontcha wish?>>> 

philsergeant

Tell Maya to watch out for the "Ear Fairy" ... She steals perky ears at full moon.... And brings them here to Florida :bz :bz :bz

Xtracho

That Fairy wouldn't have to travel too far from the panhandle where we live. But then again....Obama's drones might shoot her down.

philsergeant

Before or after she nabbed the ears?

Xtracho

Well...the ears would surely make a larger radar blip on the screen.

Daisy

Daisy's ears never have flopped.  Her ears are a bit smaller and thicker than Snoopy's.  Snoopy still has trouble with one ear.  It only stands to attention when he's interested in something or excited.  I use to tape his ear, but he kept digging it and bleeding very badly, so I stopped.

Marco looks great!! Perfect ears! He's getting Big fast too.
