I believe John's Bo Jetta is 14 years old at this point in time..
Do you think the curve on spine is becoming much more common these days ?
And bodies look compact..
Yeah I think most breeders try and insert "the curve" in their produced dogs, more than likely because it sells, not because they really really want it. To be honest i actually like it with some dogs, but not the type most try to sell.
Also we have to consider (and I've said this a few times before) that many dogs are placed to be "curved" while being photographed but they actually have a rather straight back, hehe..
