ILLUSTRATING DEFECTIVE MALE HEADS, COMBS, 

 WATTLES AND EAR-LOBES 



1. Lopped comb, usually overgrown, lacks stiffness or firmness of 

 tissue. To disqualify (see " General Disqualifications") a single comb, 

 some portion must fall below the horizontal plane where comb begins 

 its lop. 



2. Twisted comb, an irregular shaped comb, falling or curving from 

 side to side, being distorted from the normal perpendicular position. 



3. Comb, very coarse in texture, with thumb-marks in front over 

 nostrils. Third and fourth points grown into a double serration, rear 

 serrations partially lopped. Wattles and ear-lobes, coarse, pendulous 

 and wrinkled. Face, also wrinkled, causes bad expression. 



Lower Bow 



4. Head, narrow. Comb, serrations too sharp and too much elon- 

 gated; blade, too shallow; points inclined to lop. Wattles do not match 

 in length (one is shrunken). Ear-lobes too heavy to match comb and 

 wattles.
