small back feet?

Minnieski · 01-12-2010, 12:24 PM

Ok, so this might be a dumb question, but it's been bothering me for a while now, so I'm going to ask it. Minnie's back feet are smaller than her front feet, and I'm wondering if that's normal. They are, imo, noticeably smaller. Are gsd's feet supposed to be all the same size, and if so, what problems do I want to watch out for?

Thanks!

That's absolutely normal. Dogs' rear paws are smaller than their front paws.

Can't help ya there, hence my pups name. He always had big feet! They looked like a big Bearclaw! It probably is normal, nothing to worry about.
