I tried to use the search function and it wouldn't work for me so sorry if this has been addressed too often, but what exactly is a "roach back"?

It seems in the last week or two I've noticed that Molly's back seems to be a bit rounded. It almost seems her back legs are longer than her front. Do Yorkies go through awkward stages where one end grows faster than the other (I've seen this in young horses). She does seem to be going through a growth spurt based on her increased appetite..

She 21 weeks old.

Thanks a bunch!
