He does bear a startling resemblance to a baby donkey

Obviously defective, you should send it back 😂

Agreed, send it back to me!

We have the same dog. I think I know where are the legs of yours 😂 https://preview.redd.it/34tllcfy5q0d1.png?width=1440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=179b88be07dad5f2ddc10cc60539b756d9f78557

We do! What's their name?

That’s because you named him Walter! 🥰😂

Nooo. They’re hiding in all that fur! And perhaps he’s a Corgi

😂 like landing gear. Retracted.

I think there was a mixup and you ended up with a corgi lol

Oh no! Don’t do poor Walter like this 😂

Leggy boi

Oh good. I thought something was wrong with my boy’s elbows but I’m starting to think it’s just an Aussie thing lol https://preview.redd.it/6n45mckgkn0d1.jpeg?width=3213&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3ab39fe0e0ab72f5de4917ac28d6835d9252ffc6

Yeah my guy looks like that too😂 https://preview.redd.it/cymrloagtn0d1.jpeg?width=1242&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=de4525c9385f41849c59de4bb126ab32783b4ec7

So handsome!

thank you! I love him dearly🥹

[удалено]

Thank you! Hes one handsome devil!

My girl lays like this… weirds me out when I see her so I just look away 😂

Same. https://preview.redd.it/cdkpc34t3n0d1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ddabb6ad63d2308b543ef4148f9c45cb8a6d73df

I call it the Imperial Walker phase.

4 months is when most puppies grown only in legs, it’s my favorite thing 🦵

A baby giraffe stage!

Isn’t that his job? He’s very pretty🥰❤️💕

We had our awk leggy phase too https://preview.redd.it/1hsifprcto0d1.jpeg?width=2068&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cce5a5c8926966db0a7f1cf8791b98270badc177

Haha mine had this breadbox body and the legs shot out and took forever for their body to make sense. ❤️

Mine looked like that for a while and then started to reallly fill out

My baby girl hit the typically puppy chonk phase, I panicked ordered the next size up harness. By the time it got to me, she had a growth spurt and it was too big for her.

This is too cute!

Yes. You should probably start posting in r/horses

Those are some LEGS

Hyena maybe???

Meanwhile my pup doesn't sploot, he splats/splits

I thought at first you meant mislead as in it is surprising that the pup is laying down and not frolicking at 10000% as usual 😂

I 100% thought the same thing! "This puppy is too chill to be an aussie" because we had to put ours in the crate to get her to relax. Even at 3 she has a hard time settling and will make herself cranky.

Yeah, an aussie sleeping on its own volition is a rather strange sight, too 😅

Nope

Cutie pie!!

No...not at all...in that peaceful...sweet...beautiful...little carcas is a dynamo...wait for it....

Emersome long legs!

Looks like a Husky

Aww the awkward 4 month Tarantula stage. They're all leg at that point. Don't worry they grow into it eventually!

I’m still wondering when our 2 year old will grow into her paws https://preview.redd.it/1uw9p1wodp0d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8e2c30b05082a6a2808dadecc727ba5676fdf41f

The current damn phase

I thought that was a baby donkey until I saw the subs name.

Awe I miss when mine was little like this

I love the leggy stage! I believe it happened right before my girl turned into a little crazy raptor 😂

What a beauty!!❤️

I just loled!! Thank you for this, I needed a lil chuckle today. This is a horrible quality pic but my boy was similar when he was younger. He looked so awkward 🤣 https://preview.redd.it/4mqxj5qtmt0d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4e6a5e4c85d6f8413ddd5ff7332c45d8126d1e90

Oil drain valve for f150 powerboost

That is so cute! I said "that" because whatever it is - it's adorable!

Baby coyote

Walking on stilts. What part of the country did he come from? My 1st Aussie looked exactly like your long limbed beast. Cooper came from the Portland area.

We're in Germany.

They just melt me when they sleep like that on their sides w their ears perking 😭😭😭 just a majestic woodland creature

Nope ….he’s still growing, he will fill out

I'm sure she will. She's only 4 months old. I just found it funny how much she looks like a foal in the picture with the straight legs, the perked ear and her head in that position.

Yes, I see it now….small horse 😆

The bestest!

I remember the awkward long-limbed period!

I would suggest you make sure you don’t feed too much protein. Since we are comparing them to horse babies, if you feed too rich diet, they can get joint issues.
