Topic Dog Boards / Visitors Questions / ROACHED BACK (WEIMARANER)
- By Guest [us] Date 02.08.04 19:59 UTC
Can anyone help? i have a 16 month weimaraner dog .I am quite new to the showing game , the problem is , that when i stand my dog he stands fine but recently he has started to roach his back which spoils his topline.The annoying thing is that when he moves , his topline is perfect.Is it a nerve thing and a case of him tensing up , or is it something i can disguise with the way i place his legs etc?? help

Is it possible you are touching his tummy when you stack him? Most dogs arch their backs then (it's a way some people disguise a sagging topline).

if hes tense he may do it too, is it only in the ring when stacked up he roaches ???    why dont you join the sitem so you can discuss it properly

Like the idea of a sitem, sounds so friendly ;) :D

HAve you taken him to a ringcraft club to get some advice?  You may find if you tickle his bits the problem may resolve itself :D
