Dogs and All about Them

Probably
the
best-known
Poodle
of
his
day
in
this
country
was
Ch.
The
Model,
a
black
corded
dog
belonging
to
Mr.
H.
A.
Dagois,
who
imported
him
from
the
Continent.
Model
was
a
medium-sized
dog,
very
well
proportioned,
and
with
a
beautifully
moulded
head
and
dark,
expressive
eyes,
and
I
believe
was
only
once
beaten
in
the
show
ring.
He
died
some
few
years
ago
at
a
ripe
old
age,
but
a
great
many
of
the
best-known
Poodles
of
the
present
day
claim
relationship
to
him.
One
of
his
most
famous
descendants
was
Ch.
The
Joker,
also
black
corded,
who
was
very
successful
at
exhibitions.
Another
very
handsome
dog
was
Ch.
Vladimir,
again
a
black
corded,
belonging
to
Miss
Haulgrave.
Since
1905
the
curly
Poodles
have
very
much
improved,
and
the
best
specimens
of
the
breed
are
now
to
be
found
in
their
ranks.
Ch.
Orchard
Admiral,
the
property
of
Mrs.
Crouch,
a
son
of
Ch.
The
Joker
and
Lady
Godiva,
is
probably
the
best
specimen
living.
White
Poodles,
of
which
Mrs.
Crouch's
Orchard
White
Boy
is
a
notable
specimen,
ought
to
be
more
widely
kept
than
they
are,
but
it
must
be
admitted
that
the
task
of
keeping
a
full-sized
white
Poodle's
coat
clean
in
a
town
is
no
light
one.
Toy
White
Poodles,
consequently,
are
very
popular.
The
toy
variety
should
not
exceed
fifteen
inches
in
height
at
the
shoulder,
and
in
all
respects
should
be
a
miniature
of
the
full-sized
dog,
with
the
same
points.
