Doctor check the photos I've attached. Is the legs of my lab up to the standards ? Or is there any issue for me back legs are quite small. My puppy is a certified for purebred but I need to know whether she is healthy or it there a bred impurity. Please look and tell me whether this is perfect standard purebred or are they any problem let me know all of it. As i cannot reply back.

Nothing seems abnormal based on this pictures but that does not replace a good exam. If you are worried about confirmation or a bone problem then she needs to see a vet. They can actually move her legs evaluate the joints and bones to make sure there are no problems. If indicated they can even do an X-ray although she is too youn for hip dysplasia to show up
