Since your style is so stylized, I actually think the way you draw them isn't a problem. You can always look at reference or skeletons if you are worried, though.

(Talking about this first image)
I do think that the angle of some of the legs does look like an issue though.
The back legs look like they were drawn at more of a 3/4 angle, but the torso looks like it was drawn at a sideview, which makes the back legs look pretty close together.

The front legs also aren't straight. The back legs have this really nice stylized shape to them, but that isn't the same case in the front legs. I think this bold straight shape is great when the legs are standing straight, but not in other poses.
