Knuckle-walking makes me think of gorillas (and certainly Biscuit weighs around the proverbial four hundred pounds). I would be very interested in seeing a one-legged dog running; I assume you meant one with one hindleg. In vaguely related news, I have seen (on YouTube) an impressedly nimble cat which had lost both its legs on one side, so there was one foreleg and one hindleg. It had a hopping, galumphing kind of gait and could move pretty close to full normal cat-speed, though of course the different would matter if it and an intact cat were both trying to run flat-out.
