THE LION-DOG— THE SHOCK-DOG. 217 



V.— THE LION-DOG. 



This little dog appears to be a cross between the poodle and 

 the Maltese dog, being curly like the former, but without his 

 long ears and square visage. He is now very seldom seen in 

 this country, and is not prized among fanciers of the canine 

 species. Like the poodle, he is generally shaved to make him 

 resemble the lion. 



VI— THE SHOCK-DOG. 



This dog also is now almost unknown, but formerly he was 

 very generally kept as a toy-dog. He is said to have been a 

 cross between the poodle and small spaniel, both of which 

 varieties he resembled in part.
