SparkyTansy Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 English SEtter has changed very little in the UK... apparently they are a lot smaller than they should be though... They, and the Irish Setter look decidedly different in the states... The OES, apart from coat preparation and maybe a little bit general coat, remains fairly unchanged. The GSP looked very similar today, yet it was hard to tell with the Weimaraner, as they didn't manage to obtain a photo (probably cos the first weim didn't make it out of Germany until after WWII. Bull Terrier was interesting... i notice in the description that there is no mention of the curved shape so desireable today... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mollie10 Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 No soft coated wheaten terrier either - long before it was a recognised breed. Wow, the Scottish Terrier has legs! Very interesting to see the different breeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poodlefan Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 (edited) http://www.archive.org/stream/dogsofallnat...age/n5/mode/2upAmazing the changes in some breeds. Corded Poodle You can still cord poodle coat if you want to. It is still permissible in the show ring. Hairdo's aside, they are still remarkably similar dogs to older photos and paintings. Nice set of pricked ears on the Whippet Edited January 4, 2010 by poodlefan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't help it I saw a video of a show in US - a couple of corded poodles were competing!! I recall seeing a video of a Poodle Club of Vic show (probably about 10 years ago) that had a corded silver Standard competing. Oh, and for the smarty pants comments!

ninahartland Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Great book ! Thanks for posting that link. Must admit I prefer the old style gsd too. They almost look deformed now with the long sloping back..can't be good for them surely. Love the dreadlock poodles too...amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poodlemum Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Thanks for posting the picture of the white corded Poodle, Poodlefan - I've seen that one before & it's stunning (not that I'm tempted to let my boys grow "dreads" ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparkyTansy Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Love the corded poodles!! does anyone know if it is harder to win with a corded vs traditional haircut in the show ring today? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poodlefan Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Love the corded poodles!! does anyone know if it is harder to win with a corded vs traditional haircut in the show ring today? You see a corded dog so rarely that I'm not sure what most judges would make of them. I've not seen one in the flesh, ever. Theoretically it shouldn't make a difference but I can't see a corded dog getting up over one in non corded clip, unless its exceptional and under a poodle specialist.

Kavik Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 How do you cord the coat? It must be a lot of work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lappiemum Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 puli's are corded for the ring. I expect the technique would not be disimilar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poodlefan Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 (edited) How do you cord the coat? It must be a lot of work I gather it's the same as cording Puli coat. You wait for it to mat and then separate the mats into regular sized cords. The cords then grow longer and you continue to assist the cording by gently pulling the cords to separate them at the skin. I gather its a fair effort to dry a fully corded Puli so I imagine a corded poodle would be the same. Edited January 4, 2010 by poodlefan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpikesPuppy Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 I love the Saint Bernard!!! Smooth collie hasn't changed much (although the example in the book looks to have a dipped topline, lovely proportions though). Couldn't see a Border.

Sayly Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Frech Bulldog looks pretty similar to today's, the Irish Terrier looks like alot of the old pics of Irish I've seen. Dachshunds don't look much different either. The Dally looks almost identical to today's as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Flying Furball Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Thanks for the link. It's so interesting!! Had to smile at the category "British Colonial Breeds" just to claim ownership on breeds that truly had nothing to do with Britain ! Also, that the Papillon is put as a belgian breed, and that they have a toy spaniel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Age Outlaw Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 And the poodle is in the french section when I thought they were actually german in origin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austerra Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Thanks for sharing, some very interesting changes over the years. It is amazing what hairdryers and product can do to a coat nowadays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poodlefan Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 And the poodle is in the french section when I thought they were actually german in origin? That debate has raged for years. Both France and Germany have their own names for the breed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Anne~ Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 (edited) The Pug looks lovely. Lean and leggier than those of today. The face, although hard to really see, appears to be not quite as flat either and I can defnitely see round nostrils. A huge change to the Pug of today in that regard. I would love to see Pugs return to the early look. It's also interesting to note that the colours are silver fawn, apricot fawn and black. I can see that the idea of apricots and silvers being just a variation of fawn was more solidly accepted then.
