Prerrecrt WHITE POODLE. 
The standard of points for this variety is left over for future 
discussion. 
PERFECT RED POODLE. 
All the foregoing points hold good for this variety of the breed, with 
the following exceptions :— 
Lyes.—Vellow, and free from black rims round the eyelids. 
LVose.—Liver colour. 
Natls.—Liver colour. 
Back.—The ticks (spots) on back should be red or liver, and 
the whole body should be free from black ticks. 
Only these three colours (black, white, and red) are admitted, 
and they should be without mixture. 
N.B.—Clipping or Shaving.—We very strongly recommend 
that only ove-third of the body be clipped or shaved, and that the 
hair on the forehead be left on.
