Wink What does "Roach Back" look like?

Wow, I can honestly say that after reading as many threads as I can on YT, I have done every single thing that is possible to do wrong when buying a puppy. Ugh, why didn't I find this site before I bought my Yorkies??!!

Anyway, I read a thread about roach back yorkies, my littlest one kinda looks like he has a bowed up back at times, I can't tell if it's just being a puppy, or not since I didn't even know about this before and never thought about it. I will watch him more closely tomorrow when he's awake and see if it's all the time or not.

What does a roach back look like? I tried to look it up on the 'Net but all I have found are discussions about it or articles but no pics...

Is it fatal? Is it genetic?

I'm sorry I've got such newbie questions, but who better to ask than you guys?

Ack, sorry about the smiley, that wasn't the right one.
