Hump back Yorkie?? I had a friend who had a Yorkie a few years ago and it had a hump in its back. This same friend saw my new puppy and said that my puppy looked like it had a hump also. Is this a common thing in Yorkies?? My puppy is 9 weeks old. I can't see a hump but apparently my friend sees it. |
Sounds like Roach back. |
Roach back?? Is this serious? Does he need to see a vet about it? |

Why do they call it Roached back. I dont think Roaches have a curve back. |
It's not in reference to the insect...roached means outward curve. |
Yes, it's called a roach back when the spine curves up. It is a conformation flaw, not a medical problem. |
My Poppy has a curved spine also. I thought it was a medical problem but found out it wasn't. Sorry you have to deal with this also but at least your is healthy : ) |
