Can anyone with a 10 or so week puppy tell me how long the front legs are. My guy is 10 weeks old and his legs seem long. I measured the front leg from the under arm to the toes and they are 4 1/2 is that longer than normal? I know this is a stange question

Alot has to do with the bloodlines that are behind your puppy, some of the show lines do have longer legs than others.
Without seeing your baby it is hard to say if his/her legs are too long so to speak. You have to look at the total package, which should be one of balance with the legs both front and back being level creating a level top line.
I'm no expect by far but this is my thoughts on the question that you posted.

Missy is 12.5 weeks old and I just measured her front legs as *barely* 3.5 inches. Hope that helps!
