Hello, thank you for using PetCoach. Being "cow-hocked" is a conformational anomaly. It is hereditary and it is not recommended to breed affected dogs. This condition is often associated with abnormalities elsewhere in the hindlimbs....hip dysplasia most often. You should have her examined by a vet and get some x-rays taken to evaluate the hips. The way Jade is standing in the photo makes me worried that she may have hip dysplasia. Hope this answers your question. Best wishes.
