Question
Just got 4 month old puppy yesterday from a puppy store... We know her breed is suppose to have broad chest but her legs are excessively bowed. She looks like she is always in a push up position. She sit funny and when she is eating and her head is down her shoulder blades pop out and flare out a lot. Is this a really bad joint problem???

Answer
Hi Claudia - Please take her to the Vet ASAP - it may just be the awkward growing process of a bullie.  I would take ANY pet store pup to a vet because of PUPPY MILL problems - Just to give you piece of mind, see a vet..
BEST wishes
I hope it all works out well for you two!
