Default Border Collie / Aus Shepard w/orthopedic problem

This is a 4 year old border collie austrailian shepard mix - 4 year old
female.
My dog is happy and in generally good health, but like she acts very much
like a working dog and has lately developed a problem with her hind legs
when you exerts herself fetching. If she fetches a tennis ball thrown at
ground level she is fine. However when the ball is thrown high in the air or
bounced high in the air, she jumps up for it, exerts her hind legs and soon
thereafter one can observe her hind legs shaking slightly. It doesn't appear
she is in pain, but I have stopped this activity until I get a better idea
what it is.

Has anyone seen this before and is it considered a serious problem that can
be handled w/over the counter medication and/or should I take her to the
vet?

Richard
