Oh dear, did they have soundness issues?

I actually had been looking at the shoulder in the pic trying to decide if I liked it that much so that's an interesting take. You saw him in person so I'm sure you're right. It's probably how he's standing or I'm hallucinating. When a chip's removed from the hind ankle how does that affect him later? I mean I know some things are easier to deal with than others in terms of recovery and future recurrence.
