The neck should be twice the length of the head -
It does seem like twice the length would be ridiculously long.Head and neck should be equal in length.
Not to go OT, but I've never seen a site designed quite like this before, and I cropped a lot off from my screenshot.http://m.dogbreedinfo.com/?url=http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/terms.htm#3052 this link may help define some of the terms used in the standard

I think it is because it is a mobile link and they are showing you what it looks like to a mobile user to a PC user. You can tell by the "m." before the url. Still pretty nifty that you can see what mobile users see!Not to go OT, but I've never seen a site designed quite like this before, and I cropped a lot off from my screenshot.

Oh goodness, don't be embarrassed. I think we've all done that where we see one thing and the link brings up something totally different.I'm seriously embarrassed by my posted link. I had hoped to help the users unfamiliar with the terminology and did zero investigation of the rest of the site.
I agree and Jan is going to edit my original post. It's hard to understand the standard when quality dogs are so similar. I think we can use some of these pictures to help the others understand the terms and the contrast in quality. If we lose sight of the standard, we end up with purebreds that look like the crosses. If I had known the full content of the site, I would have never posted the link in this thread. But since the bell can't be unrung, lets have some fun!No, they don't use very good examples of the breed. Can't tell if the fawn they show is just a poorly bred Dobe, Weim or a x of the two. Any site that would have a "standard" for a Doodleman. Doberman Shepherd...and a nearly endless list of mixed breed, wouldn't be a site I'd recommend to anyone to see examples of the breed.
