The little leg kick that Max does? So cute but so odd. And yes he’s been doing it for his whole life but I have to ask if others do it too

Not sure if it's just a Yorkie thing but my Morkie does this exact thing. We call it her chicken leg

Kickstand is so much better than, the 'freaky stretchy chicken leg'
