Denver is our first puppy so theres lots of questions !, so apologies if this is a silly question.
When hes playing theres times when say hes decided he wants to investigate something on the ground with his mouth he just sort of collapses his back legs. No attempt to sit just flops his backside like his back legs have gone.
he also site with his legs to one side, is this a pupp thing that they will grow out of, and sit straight with time.
This forum is a great site for information.
Ian.

Hi
In no way, shape or form am I any kind of expert  but if it helps we brought our puppy home yesterday and he does exactly the same thing!
He lies down with his back legs right out like frogs! (his breeder says this is a sign of good hips though so fingers crossed!)
I'm sure someone who is far more knowledgeable than little ol' me will be along to help you out
If it's something to worry about then we're in this together!

My youngest sits with his legs to one side - Bournville is starting to sit slightly straighter now! I assume it's just a puppy thing, or a lazy lab thing! Not sure about the flopping down thing though.

Coal still has floppy sits sometimes. He also used to lay like a frog when he was little

Chester is the only one out of our 3 who sits properly. Roly and Ben sit with their legs to the side and I wouldnt worry about the flopping thing, Ben does this all the time -and on occasions Roly does it too.
