Many times when I see a picture of a male, my first response might be..........hmmmmmm very pretty. Then I stop myself and say, a bitch should be pretty. A male should be handsome. But in some cases I can't say that a male is handsome, but I can definitely say he's pretty. A male should have a different head than a bitch, but many times I see a dog and say, "Wow, how pretty," and then realize it's a male! And then one of my concerns is the lack of length of neck on some of our animals. Short necks bother me. It seems like some necks are just sitting on top of the dogs shoulders without any length at all. Just what purpose does the length of neck serve besides looking attractive? I know the dog should move with his head forward and not sticking up straight like a giraffe. So there's my neck and head question/discussion.
