POODLE —The original home 
of the Poodle is supposed to 
be Germany, but because of 
this breed’s great popularity in 
France the dog has become 
known as the French Poodle. 
This dog is well-built, active 
and very intelligent. His coat 
is usually clipped, and is either 
of a wiry texture or of thick, 
close curls. If allowed to grow, 
the coat will become a mass of 
long, rope-like cords, thus 
changing the Curly Poodle to 
the Corded Poodle. He may be of any solid color, and in size is of three 
classes, the Standard, 15 inches or over, the Miniature, under 15 inches 
in height, and the Toy, which never exceeds 10 inches in height or 12 
pounds in weight. 
BULLDOG— This is an ancient English breed used originally in the 
sport of bullbaiting. The dog has a savage and mean-tempered look, 
but actually is kindly, affectionate and a 
good companion. The Bulldog is heavy, 
thick-set, and muscular, and his general 
appearance suggests great vigor and 
strength. He has a short, flat, straight, and 
glossy coat of hair of fine texture and the 
color should be uniform, pure, and bril¬ 
liant. The colors preferred are red brindle, 
all other brindles, white, solid red or fawn. 
The Bulldog weighs from 40 to 50 pounds.
