Jack Russell - Legs - Have you seen this before?
My little 14yo Jack Russell, Jack (lol original ha!) Has deformed front leg, this done not stop his from living a happy life, but i was just wondering if anyone else had ever seen this in the breed before? We have spoken to vets, and they say he is not in any pain or discomfort.
What are your opinions  I have attactched a few photos of him, and my other boy Flynn (the black lab) i love these to boys  (lol mind the photo of me, im in my joddys lol, id just riddin my horse )

Is he a purebred or mix? No offense, but his legs remind me of a bulldog's lol. Gives him more character, he doesn't seem to be in any pain. My fox terrier is a long haired american, so she doesn't look too much like him, except in the brat department I bet. The reason I asked if he was a mix, I was wondering if maybe he had rickets as a pup?? But not to worry, he's (almost) as cute as mine lol.

It's an inherited malformation called Chondrodysplasia and CAN technically happen in all breeds, but is more common in some (Malamutes) and specifically bred for in others (Basset for example). I've seen it in a few JRTs and in a certain bloodline of my own breed, and your dog looks purebred to me (which as you said doesn't matter a bit).
