I think that IS what the dog IS......and that dog has some real problems starting with an actual 'dowagers hump' on his back.....along with a few other issues I don't believe that dog could possibly have any athletic flexability. His pasterns are like a terrier and his elbows are set up under him funny. We worry about steep croups here.....that's an actual steep BACK. IMO........
