I am sure that here at this forum you will be supplied with a link to give you a picture and a definition of "roach bacK"
Roach back is a curving of the spine "upward" instead of the dogs carriage or back being straight all the way across the spine is curved up. In my studs case his front legs are slightly shorter then the back legs and creates that look, if his head is down and sniffing. It is cosmetic problem.......His father is from champion bloodlines but has the same problem......he is 7 and has no health probs from it.....
My Main concern is that others are breeding for internal soundness of the animals not just physical outside soundness.
