Swinging of the back, is this normal?

Tajo is my first JA and I am a little bit concerned because he is swinging his back while walking at slow speed. Maybe I am just paranoic but if he has any hip problem early treatment is always better. Here is a video of him walking:

    Don't worry, that's the akita booty wiggle.

    I don't have an Akita, but all of my dogs do the booty wiggle when they walk. Sassy little things!

    It's look pretty normal to me. One of my Shibas has a much moe defined wiggle, and I'm going to get him xrayed soon to see what's going on in his hips/spine (he's 9.5, so it seems like he could be starting to have problems there).

    But his wiggle is way more distinct that anything I see in yours.

    All my 'kitas walk like that, and have tested Good or better on their hips. :) My boy does it the least, Bijo does it the most.

    Saigo has a skinnier waist so it's even more pronounced! lol
    Sometimes he does this skippy thing when he's half running half walking that reminds me of a Lemur. I want to take a vid of that...it's so adorable!
