our rescue lurcher came to us with a clearly visible break on her front 'wrist' It was healed and doesn't seem to cause her much bother (she can run around fine) She saw a cat on a high wall out the back and jumped out of our yard (4 foot jump) and then out of the next door yard (a 6/7 foot jump) yes, she can jump. however, she won't reach up to take things off the table (or get on the bed) as she has has learned not to.
