Boomer is the only "froggie" laying dog of the bunch, but then he throws that curve in and my back just hurts!

I read someplace that it is a sign of good joints, so that makes me feel a little better. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif

That actually does look painful. I have always been told not to let my dogs lay like that because it is bad for their hips. I always correct my two when they do it and make them lay on one side. I don't know how true it is, I was told that by my trainer though.

Boomer is cute, and very flexible... :hi:

Lucky does the freagle all the time, but no curve. Very cute picture!

Awww cute pic though he does look funny.

Rosa has always lain in the froggie position and my vet told me it was a good sign, means they are very flexible which can't be bad can it. I guess it's a bit like us being able to do the splits, which I can't incidently

Boomer is such a cutie!! Does he always lay in a curve like that? Miss Shiloh has never lain froggie style--I don't think her hips are flexible enough for that. But I bet it's a nice way to cool off!

in Hotdog's younger day he use to do the fraggle with a curve like that. He is a Dashhound, and Squirrel did the straight fraggle!

I always believed as long as they could do the froggie position their joints were good. Nice photo.

That's adorable. I don't know how he could lay like that though. Looks mighty uncomfy! I too have heard that if a dog can lay like that they have good joints. I don't know if it's good for their joints though.

What and adorable picture!

Molly loves to lay "froggie" style to but she is not quite the contortionist Boomer is !

Wow that does look funny /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/laugh.gif

Stan lays in some funny positions believe me but nothing that clever :conf6:

Zeus dose that too! What he really likes it to do this weird curve lying on his back. His head can almost touch his butt. I will have to try and get a photo and post it!

Aww - my little guy (also named Boomer!) does that occassionally too - usually when he's chewing on a really yummy toy. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/cool.gif
