Its funny how everyone has commented on long necks... I love long necks and that is one of the things we can see in little dal pups.. Long necks, beautiful heads, etc... Maybe one of the reasons I don't evaluate shoulders too closely is I have to get through the hearing issue we have in our breed first... One thing though - some of the longest necked dogs I have met, have some of the STRAIGHTEST shoulders I have ever seen - in dals.
