Weak Pasterns

I have a boxer that is 5 1/2 months old and he seems to have very weak pasterns. His feet are also little splayed too. I weighed him a few days ago and he was 53.5 lbs which is pretty big for a boxer his age. Could this have some effect on his pasterns being a weak? Or his Splayed feet? I don't think both problems are real bad, but wanted to know if anyone has ever had this problem before with a boxer and what did you do?

Is this very common in Boxers?

It's very possible it is teething. He is young to make too critical of an assessment.

Many dogs tend to have splay feet and weaker pasterns, that is nothing that should hurt him in the future, unless you were considering showing him.
