The slant of the obliqueness?  I what pondered the same thing.  And you can 
see it both ways.  It is confusing describing it.  If you use the anatomical 
terms i.e. Superior equals top and inferior equals bottom.  Lateral equals 
outside.  Medial equals inside.  What I think is preferred is the slant 
running from superior lateral to inferior medial i.e.( / ) as opposed to ( \ 
) on the dogs left eye, but you viewing it from the front.  You have the same 
question in Bull Terriers, but I believe there is no question about 
preference there.  Sometimes difficult in Pyrs with a "tear drop" shape 
oblique to know what the lay of the slant is.

It would be interesting to see what others think.
