Dogs and All about Them

The
Poodle
bitch
makes
a
good
mother,
rarely
giving
trouble
in
whelping,
and
the
puppies
are
not
difficult
to
rear.
Their
chief
dangers
are
gastritis
and
congestion
of
the
lungs,
which
can
be
avoided
with
careful
treatment.
It
should
be
remembered
that
the
dense
coat
of
the
Poodle
takes
a
long
time
to
dry
after
being
wetted,
and
that
if
the
dog
has
been
out
in
the
rain,
and
got
his
coat
soaked,
or
if
he
has
been
washed
or
allowed
to
jump
into
a
pond,
you
must
take
care
not
to
leave
him
in
a
cold
place
or
to
lie
inactive
before
he
is
perfectly
dry.
Most
Poodles
are
kept
in
the
house
or
in
enclosed
kennels,
well
protected
from
draught
and
moisture,
and
there
is
no
difficulty
in
so
keeping
them,
as
they
are
naturally
obedient
and
easily
taught
to
be
clean
in
the
house
and
to
be
regular
in
their
habits.
The
coat
of
a
curly
Poodle
should
be
kept
fleecy
and
free
from
tangle
by
being
periodically
combed
and
brushed.
The
grooming
keeps
the
skin
clean
and
healthy,
and
frequent
washing,
even
for
a
white
dog,
is
not
necessary.
The
dog
will,
of
course,
require
clipping
from
time
to
time.
In
Paris
at
present
it
is
the
fashion
to
clip
the
greater
part
of
the
body
and
hind-quarters,
but
the
English
Poodle
Club
recommends
that
the
coat
be
left
on
as
far
down
the
body
as
the
last
rib,
and
it
is
also
customary
with
us
to
leave
a
good
deal
of
coat
on
the
hind-quarters.
