Old cow hocks

Dylan and I recently went to the vet's. The vet was watching him walk and commented on the hocks of his back legs. He used the term "cow hocks". Dylan's back legs tend to lean in at the knees though they don't touch. He also toes out. My concern is that this will be a bigger issue when he's older and heavier. Any words of wisdom will be much appreciated.

I never heard or seen of cow hocks before. Can you post some pictures? I think if it's not bothering him then you have no problem with it.
