stop Explanation: As you may already have guessed, le *stop* was borrowed from the English. And yes, it is used the same way in English: "The head is round and medium-sized, with no flat planes or sharp angles. In profile there should be a moderate stop; the forehead is rounded, but not domed. The nose indentation does not form a 45-degree angle, it is not to be considered a break, but there is an indentation above the bridge, thus forming the change in direction from the rounded forehead to the muzzle. The nose should be slightly rounded down at the tip. The muzzle is short, but not "pugged" or "snubbed". The chin should reflect a normal bite; neither receding nor protruding. " http://www.google.com/search?q=cache:www.fanciers.com/breed-...|lang_fr|lang_es Here is the explanation, in French, of *stop*, from LGDT. Note that it states that *stop* is a "calque", that is, a directly borrowed word (i.e., from English): Domaine(s) zoologie zootechnie stop (Emprunts, calques) (a) Dépression qui marque le profil de la face du chien, entre les os frontaux d'une part, les nasaux et les maxillaires d'autre part. (a) Contexte(s): Certaines races ont un stop très accusé, le Pointer par exemple.

nose break Explanation: The website below has a diagram of a cat's body, with all the parts indicated, and it looked as though "nose break" was in the same place as described for "stop" in your text. Hope this helps! Reference: http://www.cfainc.org/breeds/standards/standard-parts.html |
