The '''[[Hindlimb - Anatomy & Physiology#Ilium|Ilium]]''' is large and prominent in canines. In the dog the '''tuber coxae''' has two prominences; the cranial and caudal ventral iliac spines and although not usually visible, both are readily palpable. The '''sacral tuber''' has two prominences; the cranial and caudal dorsal iliac spines.  The '''iliac crest''' is wide and convex and the '''ileal wing''' is orientated in an almost sagittal manner and both are easily palpable.

The femoral head of the canine '''[[Hindlimb - Anatomy & Physiology#Femur|Femur]]''' is circular and is situated in the centre of the head. There is a distinct '''neck''' connecting the femoral head to the shaft and the '''greater trochanter''' is level with the femoral head.
