_Legs._--Fore set straight from shoulder, with plenty of bone and muscle; hindlegs very muscular and well bent, with the hocks well let down. _Tail._--Set on rather high, well carried, never curled, or carried over back. _Coat._--Very profuse, and of good, hard texture; if corded, hanging in tight, even cords; if non-corded, very thick and strong, of even length, the curls close and thick, without knots or cords. _Colours._--All black, all white, all red, all blue. The white poodle should have dark eyes, black or very dark liver nose, lips, and toe-nails. The red poodle should have dark amber eyes, dark liver nose, lips, and toe-nails. The blue poodle should be of even colour, and have dark eyes, lips, and toe-nails. All the other points of white, red, and blue poodles should be the same as in the perfect black poodle. _N.B._--It is strongly recommended that only one-third of the body be clipped or shaved, and that the hair on the forehead be left on.
Also catered for by the Curly Poodle Club, Hon. Secretary, Miss F. Brunker, Whippendell House, King's Langley, Herts.

=The Black-and-Tan Terrier.=--Points and standard, as given by the Black-and-Tan Terrier Club. Secretary, Mr. S. J. Atkinson, 184, Adelaide Road, London, N.W. _Head._--Long, flat, and narrow, level and wedge-shaped, without showing cheek muscles, well filled up under the eyes, with tapering, tightly-lipped jaws and level teeth. _Eyes._--Very small, sparkling, and dark, set fairly close together, and oblong in shape. _Nose._--Black. _Ears._--Small and V-shaped, hanging close to the head above the eye. _Neck and Shoulders._--The neck should be fairly long, and tapering from the shoulders to the head, with sloping shoulders, the neck being free from throatiness, and slightly arched at the occiput. _Chest._--Narrow, but deep. _Body._--Moderately short, and curving upwards at the loin; ribs well sprung; back slightly arched at the loin, and falling again at the joining of the tail to the same height as the shoulders. _Legs._--Must be quite straight, set on well under the dog, and of fair length. _Feet._--More inclined to be cat than hare-footed. _Tail._--Moderate length, and set on where the arch of the back ends, thick where it joins the body, tapering to a point, and not carried higher than the back. _Coat._--Close, smooth, short, and glossy. _Colour._--Jet black and rich mahogany tan, distributed over the body as follows: On the head the muzzle is tanned to the nose, which, with the nasal bone, is jet black; there is also a bright tan spot on each cheek and above each eye; the under jaw and throat are tanned, and the hair inside the ear is of the same colour. The forelegs tanned up to the knee, with black lines (pencil marks) up each toe, and a black mark (thumb mark) above the foot. Inside the hindlegs tanned, but divided with black at the hock joint, and under the tail also tanned, and so is the vent, but only sufficiently to be easily covered by the tail; also slightly tanned on each side of chest. Tan outside of hindlegs, commonly called "breeching," a serious defect. In all cases the black should not run into the tan, or _vice versa_, but the division between the two colours should be well defined. _General Appearance._--A terrier, calculated to take his own part in the rat-pit, and not of the whippet type. _Weight (for toys)._--Not exceeding 7 lbs.
