Registering Organization | Points | Description |
ACFA | 0 | Medium length straight nose looks upturned from almost any view except profile due to light reflection. |
CCA | 10 Head & Neck |
The top of the skull is flat and long, descending straight to just above the eyes and then continues on a downward angle in a straight line to the tip of the nose. No nose break or stop is observed. |
CFA | 20 Head & Neck |
Top of skull long and flat in profile, gently descending to slightly above the eyes, and continuing at a slight downward angle in a straight line to the tip of the nose. No nose break or stop. Length of top-head should be greater than length of nose. |
FIFe | 25 Head & Neck |
In profile forehead and nose form a convex angle at the same level as the eye brows. Straight forehead. Straight nose. |
GCCF | 20 Head & Ears |
In profile the forehead should appear straight to the level of the upper edge of the eye. The profile from here to the tip of the nose has such a shallow concave curve that it appears virtually straight. This creates a distinctive angle level with the upper edge of the eye. There must be no stop, break or nose bump, nor must there be a straight profile from the top of the head to nose tip. |
TICA | 33 Head |
[One of the seven flat planes required in the modified wedge.] Profile: Straight nose and flat top head forming two planes. |
