Points of the perfect black poodle
Poodles. Points of the perfect black poodle, as defined by the Poodle Club. Secretary, Mr. L. W. Crouch, The Orchard, Swanley Village, Kent. General Appearance. That of a very active, intelligent, and elegant-looking, dog, well built, and carrying himself very proudly. Head. Long, straight, and fine, the skull not broad, with a slight peak at the back. Muzzle. Long (but not snipy) and strong; not full in cheek; teeth white, strong, and level; gums black; lips black and not showing lippiness. Eyes. Almond-shaped, very dark, full of fire and intelligence. Nose. Black and sharp. Ears. The leather long and wide, low set on, hanging close to the face. Neck. Well proportioned and strong, to admit of the head being carried high and with dignity. Shoulders. Strong and muscular, sloping well to the back. Chest. Deep and moderately wide. Back. Short, strong, and slightly hollowed, the loins broad and muscular, the ribs well sprung and braced up. Feet. Rather small and of a good shape, the toes well arched, pads thick and hard.
