The preceding score cards are made from the 
without reference to breed characters. They are in 
standpoint of utility and 
actual use for class work. 
In addition to this some breeders’ associations have adopted a special scale of 
points designed to bring out the distinctive characters or points in the breed. 
Two of the many are here given as samples. It will be noticed that in these 
latter much attention is given to matters of appearance as distinct from utility.
