This link had a lot of interesting and useful info. I always like comparing Uni to the standard, and laughing at her expense. The funny thing for her though, is when she's just standing, her back is hunched up, but when she's happy and trotting around, her topline seems pretty level. Doesn't matter anyway, she's not show quality, but it's kind of weird.
