Crown
Crowns are worth 8 points- they consist of side to side width, front to back width, and top
to bottom. Placement should be right behind the eye and the crown should start at the eye
ball level. It is said to look like a buffalo.

Crown Placement
This is where the
crown sits on the
head of a holland. It
should start from
right behind the eye.

the holland should
also start at eye

trait causes the
crown to be too far
set back on the head
Overall Definition,
structure and mass
of cross
The Crown should
look like a solid
structure with visible
definition. It is almost
like you can see the
drawn line between
the head and crown.
It should have a
massive overall look.
