2. Width of the fangs
The maximum width measured in millimeters, with an appreciation of tenths of a millimeter, taken with a caliper in the thickest section. Abnormal excrescences are not measured.
3-4. Perimeter of the grinders
Measured at the thickest section. Abnormal excrescences are not measured. The measuring tape should cover the notches.
5. Beauty
Up to a maximum of 2 points will be awarded to the fangs and up to three points to the grinders.
Fangs
Each one is valued separately. Up to 1 point will be awarded for each tusk if it has the following characteristics:
– Dark brown to black color on the outside.
– Regularity of the curvature at the top.
– Size of the sharpened surface.
– Sharp tips.
– Curvature with an arc that reaches 157.5º.
Grinders
| It is valued separately as follows: | Points |
| – Curvature with an arch that reaches 157.5 | 1 |
| – Curvature with an arc between 135º and 157º5 | 0,5 |
| – Color on the external surface | 0,5 |
6. Penalty
From 0 to 10 points, for the following reasons: | Points |
– Less than 4 centimeters | 1 |
– From 4.1 to 5 centimeters | 0,5 |
– Difference in length, width and shape between the fangs | Until 3 |
– Difference in length and shape between grinders | Until 3 |
– Disproportion between grinders and fangs | Until 1 |
