A little angulation inwards of the hocks can be a good thing. I remember having apretty good discussion with Rayna and then with an orthopedic specialist about it. One of the things they both said that makes complete sense to me is that a little angulation allows for greater movement and agility. Too straight and you get the opposite, too great of angle you get worse as well.

Some of the best working horses have a very slight turn in of the hocks. I've noticed this in dog movement as well. My dogs with the best looking hips have a very very slight degree in hocks inward. Vader was very straight in that way (great angulation tho) and had a little laxity in her hips.

I'll have to look it up again, but I do agree, that dog has issues in movement and i see what ya'll are talking about.
