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...

Amazing the changes in some breeds.

Corded Poodle :champagne:

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.

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 twak.gif for the smarty pants comments! :cry:

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.

How do you cord the coat? It must be a lot of work :laugh:

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.

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.

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.

How stunning are they, I have never herd of them. Poodles are wonderful dogs.
