Hi I have a 1 year old GSD puppy who is about 110 LBS, hes a big boy and soo smart, we love that hes giant! I just had a question about his back, I know he def doesnt have a slopped back for his legs are very straight and his back has no slope, but it almost has a hump in it? would he still be concidered a straight back? is a bit of a hump normal? Thanks for your time!!

Can you take a picture so we can see what you are talking about.

Is the hump at his withers?

It's probably a roach back. Is he West German Show lines by any chance?

Where is the hump you are talking about? I don't see it?

I personally think his back isnt to bad... hes still just a puppy but my BF Thinks he doesnt have a straight back, so i just wanted to find out forsure

There aren't any pictures where he is standing level, so it's hard to judge the conformation of his back.

Either way, if his back is sloped, roached, or straight and level. . . just love your dog. It doesn't really matter. A dog can be healthy and sound or unhealthy and unsound with any of the back shapes I just mentioned.
