I could be wrong, but I always thought a roached back was a dog that does not have a straight top-line. Like a low tail set or low in the front makes the back look like a roached back. Its not level from withers to tail set. A really roached back is the Bedlington Terrier. This is correct for this breed but not the Yorkie.
