i realize that it is not life threating but if you are buying with the intention's of breeding is this something that shows up at a very young age as they are not done growing when you pick out your new baby. i also realize that if you know your line then you know that there's very little chance of it showing up in any of your kids. or does it just happen sometime's?
Sometimes, you can feel it early on...I've felt some that were 8 weeks old. Already, under all of the fluff, there was a hump in the back, plus, a low tail set. I've heard that sometimes it can correct itself as the pup grows but the chances are it will not.
