It's not unusual, lots of b1tches do it, some also c0ck their legs. I think they carry on walking because they are too impatient to stand still while they are urinating.

It most likely means that she has luxating petellas, so it hurts when she squats.

It is a slipping kneecap on the hind legs. I used to think it was so cute when little dogs did that,, but then I learned what it was..You will also see them run holding up the hind leg now and then,,

Some bitches do that. My Papilion does it. She is very dominant & I think she does it to get her urine sent higher like a dog would. She even does it up trees.

Nothing is wrong with her. I had a rat terrier that did this. It's just a quirky thing some dogs do.
