Will my runner duck stand up?

Recently I came home with a female crested white runner duck and a magpie duck. I've read that depending on the breeder some runner ducks stand up tall while others have a stance more like a regular duck. I'm wondering at what age would they start walking tall like a runner? Mine stays down low most of the time at about a month old. Can I expect her to fix her posture or will she stay more like a "regular" duck?
 
The legs do look like they are too far forward for that duckling to have a good upright stance- she may be a cross bred duckling- or just a utility bird rather than the " show quality' type that stand up almost straight.
