Yorkie Pup Posture Hi, I am new to the forums, I just recently got my girlfriend a yorkie. The yorkie pup is about 16weeks old. I am wondering on what posture the yorkies have, cause when he is standing on all fours, it almost seems like he has a hump on his back, kind of like a hunchback. But when he runs, he straightens himself out. Is this normal? I am a bit worried but he seems to be running and playing okay. Any advice will be greatly appreciated. thanks |
First of all, Welcome to YT. The hump is what is call a Roachback. A Roach back is not desirable on the breed. Is a genetic defect but is not harmful for the pup's health. You can research the all threads regarding roach back. |
thanks for the info, i was a bit worried about the little guy cause it sort of looked funny. We picked him up cause I bought my girlfriend a cairn terrier 3 months ago and she wanted a play buddy with him, so a few weeks ago, I picked her up a yorkie. They play together pretty well, but the yorkie sometimes turns into a baby and hides behind my girlfriend. hhaha :) |

Does he have this posture all the time ? Can you post pics ? |
yeah he's like that all the time. I'll post pics later. But i'm pretty sure he likes the environment cause he acts like he owns the place. :) :D |
