Hi and thank you for this question. If this is a new thing, it could represent weakness and Perdonno should see a vet. If this was like this all along it could still be part of his baby behavior or a conformation abnormality. Not possible to say from one pic. Again, when in doubt... a visit to the vet is recommended.
