Her coat looks normal in amount for her age to me.
As to her "rump" being higher, that is called.."down at the shoulders"..and that is a structure fault..you can not correct a poor top line. You can disguise it at bit, by keeping the lead taut when you show her..sometimes it will cause the dog to stretch it neck upward and not look so bad...but this only works on a slightly off top line....but the second you loosen the lead the judge will see the fault...Good Luck

PS..I looked at the photo again...her rump roachs a touch...perhaps with most age and confidence she will level out...keep working with her..
