Question
We just purchased an American bulldog my husband and I have never owned one before but did our research and decided that was what we wanted. His name is Brutus he is 9weeks old now and we noticed he is starting to look bow legged and he kinda looks like he is walking on his toes is that normal? i have tried to look up pics of adult American bulldogs to see if we could tell but they are so much bigger then he is its hard to tell.. just wondering if somethign could be wrong with him.. hope you can help. thanks in advance.

Answer
Hi Morgan:  BEST wishes on your new addition.  I believe that many pups do tend to walk like this .... Not very coordinated !
When you get the next set of shots, talk to the vet about this.  

In the mean time, he may just correct this himself... He is still growing at a very rapid rate.
Make sure you are feeding a good food that is not full of Junk Fillers.
Also, a good puppy supplement like NuVET would be a Plus..
