new to Beagles - ques about my puppy

My husband and I both had beagles as kids (20+ yrs ago). We just adopted an 8 wk old beagle mix yesterday. She's still very skittish and aclimating to her new surroundings and her new sister (an 8 month old Havanese/Bichon).

So our question is what are her back legs supposed to look like? If you're looking at her from behind, she looks like she's been riding on a saddle (legs spread and rounded like a U). When she starts walking and her tail goes up, it's not as noticeable, which makes me think it's just stress and she's unsure. It almost looks like she's tucking her butt under when she's standing.

Opinions?

Do you have a pic? What is she mixed with? Being a crossbreed it will be really hard to tell what traits she will have of either parent breeds... with crossbreeds there is really no way they are supposed to look like - they are a genetic gamble.

Are her legs wobbly or causing her any apparent pain? I'm sure it's nothing to worry about

It doesn't look like anything to worry about, she might even grow out of it as she develops.

I would definitely agree she could have some sort of terrier in her, will be interesting to see what she looks like when she finishes growing!
