That would be seven. Dogs don't have the strongest necks in the animal kingdom. And the proper term for that is the cervical vertebrae. Almost all the bones along the dogs back are also called vertebrae. In fact, it runs down all the way to the tip of the dogs tail.

All mammals from the screw to the girraffe have exactly 7 cervical vertebra. It is one of the features of the placenta genus. (I'm not sure about marsupials).
