My Lab's feet turn in, back end sways, no pain. Hip dysplasia?

Question

3yr old Labrador stands and walks with her back feet pointing inwards and her back end goes left to right ? No pain or lameness though could this be hip dysplaysia ? Pet's info: Dog | Labrador Retriever | Female | spayed | 60 lbs

It is possible Pixie has hip dysplasia. Typically dogs will show signs of hip dysplasia on x-rays once they are two years old. I would recommend taking Pixie to a vet and having x-rays of the hips to evaluate if dysplasia is present. It is possible that Pixie does not have hip dysplasia and just has this type of gait.
