Then I looked into it and read some articles about yorkies and I just noticed she has somewhat of a roachback. Because when she sits she looks like a cat, it curves it. My other dog, carin terrier, he has a straight back when he sits down. So I was wondering if the roach back would have anything to do with her "crackin and popping" sounds coming from her legs. Or if it is just making that noise due to growth spurts??
can someone please help me and let me know if your yorkie ever made these noises before??
Her knees can be indicative of Luxating Patellas.

As far as the Roach Back....can you take a picture of her standing, a side view...and post it.
