| Roach back question Twinkle has a slight curve to her back, most noticeable when looking at her side-on. After looking at pics of other yorkies I'm guessing this must be a roach back. My question is, other than it not being aesthetically pleasing are there any health implications to this? I did do a search but found only advice on not breeding yorkies with this fault (I've no intention of breeding her - she's being spayed Jan 6th) and so I just wondered if it's likely to cause her any probs in the future. Thankyou in advance for your help xx xx

| Unless you were planning on doing agility or other athletics, with her, a slight roach back shouldn't cause her any problems. |

| Nope, just the lifestyle of a pampered pet I;m relieved to hear that this 'imperfection' won't cause health problems for her. Thanks for your responses xxx xxx
