Percentage of skull distributed in the fourth quadrant and cephalic index. Graph illustrating the linear relationship determined between cephalic index and percentage of skull distributed in fourth quadrant upon photo analysis. This figure demonstrates that increasing cephalic index in this breed is associated with the doming of the cranium distributing more rostrally (rather than caudally) in a linear fashion. This suggests why both of these features of breed conformation are risk factors.
