Bunny hopping is a Corgi trait but bunny hopping in other breeds could be a pointer to HD. Unusual to see HD in puppies, not a common Corgi ailment. Here are plenty of other signs of HD: decreased activity, difficult in rising, rear limb lameness, reluctant to use stairs, reluctant to jump or stand on hind legs, swaggering gait, pain from manipulation of the hips, decreased range of motion in the hips, soreness after lying down or after heavy exercise.
