I do not see a roach back either...BUT the size is a stumbling block in my eyes. What size bitches do you have or plan to buy?

When it comes to structure faults...and a roach back is a structure fault, not health problem..it is best to have a judge or breeder look at your dog..unless a vet knows the standard for each breed they aren't that useful in this type situation. Some breeds are suppose to be roached..some are supposed to have underbites, coarse coats, low rears etc, etc...a vet who happens to breed Yorkies is a plus..known a couple of them.
