We call this "down in the front." You can help this when stacking, but the porblem is that the judge will find out when you gait them around and when the judge goes over your dog with their hands on the table. I have seen some pups go down in the front as they grow and then level out at maturity. I have also seen dogs not level out when grown. You just have to wait it out and make sure they are not under weight. It will tend to show more when they are under weight.
