It depends on his comformation. Was he always a narrow bodied dog even when he was an 8 week old pup? SOme dogs ribs never spring they are what we call slab sided, so they will always be a little eastie-westie or sometimes fiddle fronted. Normally a 6 month old pup who has adequate rib spring will go a little out in the front when they go up on leg, but as the chest drops the elbows are more secure against the body and the legs come back to square. Can you post a picture of your boy?
