If my sheltie 6 month old puppy is toeing out slightly with one foot in the rear will this fault corrrect itself as he becomes older

If it were in the front I would say yes, maybe as he fills out. In the rear, probably not. Toeing out in the rear is very common in Shelties. If it is slight you might be able to show him anyway, especially if it is on the non show side. Slight toeing out in the rear will not affect him for a pet.

Puppy's go through some really weird stages and it's very possible this will correct itself as the puppy ages. One good indicator are the puppy's parents - how were their rears? Were they sound or do they have weak rears? Is this a future show dog? If not, there's nothing serious about this. If he is, contact the breeder to get more info on problems in the line.
