She wants one of my females pups. Gidgets mom, sugar has a straight back but gidget looks like she has a hump on hersin the middle.

Sounds like she may have it, too. Take her to the vet if you are concerned about it. I've learned my lesson the hard way. If a pup is standing up, you should be able to run your hand across it's back and not feel any curves. I should not have been so quick to jump on this one. And yes, when I do sell her, I am planning on being totally honest with ANY buyer.
