roach back

I was lately just wondering as i see alot of dogs with a roach back at conformation shows.
Sometimes i really dont know if i can call it a roach back, but i see alot of dogs being "conditioned" with a roach back showing alot of spine bones...
Is this maybe something genetic? Or similiar to a bloodline? Bad conditioning? etc....

I dont like seeing it at all, so i was just wondering.
We also have ppl here that just starve there dogs to look all skinny and shit, lol
But just curious to opinions on this......

 

Some dogs just are like that all I can say. I've got a couple. Not sure if it's genetic or not because I have dogs off same litters a few have it others dont

Its actually considered quite normal now and is becoming a standard so it seems..JoanieWinchester of Tatonka Kennels can tell you more about it. She explained it to me but its been a while

 

The worst thing you can do for A WORKING dog is let him develop fat in the stomach! Now pups and brood stock they need it!

 

i also putted this question on facebook (you gotta love fb)
But what i meant cant be called a roach back...
i heared what i mean had something to do with mal nutrition (or bad conditioning) probaly....
wish i could post a picture but i dont like bashing somebody's dog

it's like seeing a starved dog without seeing the hip bones and not that much ribs...
so really the spine is showing and the back is roach ... sometimes even the but is higher then there head,
so the body doesnt look in proportion...

 

that's sad if i knew this i would have asked her previous ADBA show, she was in my country...

 

Roach back is genetic due to ones bloodline which is basically the arch in a dogs back as some have a higher arch then others. Just as long as performance of the dog is not effected most are not concerned about it, unless your in it just for there looks LOL.
