My definition of no apparent stop.  When you look at the dog, can you 
see a stop?  However whewn you run you hande up the dog's skull you can 
feel the gentle glid up ward of the skull.  There is no hesitation in 
moving the hand upward, there is only a soflt glide.  
The no apparent stop of the Pyr is very different than that of the 
collie.  the collie has planes and it is those planes that creat the 
face...the pyr, while share that there is no stop must have NO planes...
This similarity is about as "close" in nature to the apparent stop of a 
golden retriever to the apparent stop of the saint benard..both dogs 
have a stop but because the rest of the head is built differently they 
are very distinct.
While some may think collie head, when no apparent stop is stated...no 
apparent stop means no apparent stop....the collie had posesses 
completely different features making it distinct in its own way.
