OoOoOoh! Thank you both! I do see it. I hope it straightens out so that you can show her. She's so beautiful. Her name makes me happy, too!

Yep that's what Sidney's looked like and she was soooooooooooooooo beautiful man I miss that girl. It still brings tears to my eye's.

bubbad I really hope she straightens out she is gorgeous.

so how does a puppy develop a roach? and if it doesn't straighten out will that cause problems in the future? Gorgeous pups by the way!

It never bothered Sidney. When her sister got a hold of her and taught her how to chase rabbits she was off and running. She just couldn't roll over and lay on her back.

My Norman has a roach back. He is the fastest Basset I have ever seen. He rolls over for tummy rubs all the time. Eventhough he is not show quality, he is the best basset ever. NONE of ya'll will be able to convence me otherwise.

The 2nd photo and 4 th photo are Tiger Lilly and she had not developed the roach over her back yet. They can develop this while growing,they are long dogs,a growth spurt doesn't allow the body to catch up all the time. As she gets older this should resolve its self but if it doesn't she will have a permanent arch over the loin area,I would think as she ages there could be some arthritis occur. Sometimes we call these stages they go through the puppy uglies many times they are not permanent but sometimes they are. I still may be able to use her as a brood bitch to take Esa's place I have to be careful who I breed her to,I had hoped to show her but we'll see its a waiting game. She has a great personallity all the puppies have wonderful temperaments.

Goodness the lengths you will take to keep a pup, just kidding. I really hope she gets over it and you get to show her. Sidney never did have any problems with her roach never bothered her at all.

I sometimes think it was because of Abby because when we first got Sidney she could hardly even run and Abigail was on the go all the time. She taught Sidney how to run. Then Sidney could run faster than Abby because she had longer legs.
