I posted yesterday that I had attended Claudia Orlandi's seminar, The ABC's
of Dog Breeding.....So to quote from her book that I've just started to
read.....*note: pictures of a correct neck, an ewe or concave neck, and a
swan or goose neck were positioned above the paragraph below:  
 

"Each dog's neck has a topline and an underline as illustrated in the
drawing of a properly set on neck.  Necks well set on will show a smooth
flow into properly angled shoulders.  In the faulty ewe neck and swan necks
the circumference of the throatlatch is likely to be closer to the
circumference of the base of the neck.  In addition to the amount of
forechest, which we will presently discuss, a dog's neck is one of the most
important anatomical indicators of correct forequarter structure and
movement.  The correct length of neck is of the utmost importance in any
breed and too long or too short a neck or improper head carriage can all
negatively affect not only the lift and reach of the forelegs but also the
desired outline or silhouette of the dog."
