 Champion Milo. 



THE POODLE (BLACK, CURLY-COATED). 



Origin.— There is little doubt but that the poodle of to-day 

 finds its origin in the old "water-dog" of France, where it was 

 not only used for retrieving wounded water-fowl, but for swimming- 

 contests, when the hind parts \Vere chpped or shaven in order to 

 give freer action to the legs. 



Uses. — A very bright, intelhgent companion, and a good re- 

 triever.
