Percy seems to have ended up with a roach back, unless his front legs shoot up another inch which I don't think is going to happen at this point.
I am a little upset b/c when I was at the breeders I asked to see the parents and both of them had a nice top line. All the papers matched as well. There had been all the correct testing done on the bitch and stud. At the time, he seemed to be topping out nicely, the same as his litter mates. Now, not so much.
Since we will most likely be getting a brother or sister for Percy, i want to know how to avoid this in the future. Can parents that have a nice top line have a puppy that ends up roached? Percy was "older" when we got him, so I thought we were ok, at what age can you tell if this is going to happen?
I really thought i had done my homework.
