Front leg shakes

My little 3mo Sansa has quite the bull dog looking stance when sitting. Her front paws seem to face inward. Looking at the pic I have of her parents, it seems like she gets this from her father.

Now what concerns me is when she's sitting or standing still, her front right leg shakes as if it's under too much weight/stress. Could this be a sign of anything of concern or??

I've never seen that before, so I'm not sure. Does your breeder have any insight?

Breeder says it's nothing and I haven't noticed it at all the past day or so...maybe it was nothing but I'm due to take her to the vet for her 3rd round of vaccinations so well see what the doc says.

Good idea! Keep us posted.

I've seen Bentley's front leg shake a few times. Usually it's after he's been laying down for a while--I think it is "asleep" just like what happens to humans :)
 
Vet saw nothing wrong so maybe it's nervousness or just from it being asleep but she seems to have stopped for the most part. I just posted a video of her bounding down the hall so it's obviously not a hindrance to her.
 
It could really be something genetic and completely normal, or a sign of something more serious like a trauma or injury.

Has this been something that's happening only recently, or have you noticed this a long time ago? Any changes to your dog's lifestyle before you noticed this?

If you're not too sure about it I'd say your best bet is contacting your vet. Better safe than sorry!
