tightly. Eyes almond shape, very dark brown, and full of fire and
intelligence. The ears are long and wide, set on high and hang close to
the head. The back is strong and muscular. The tail is set on high and
should never be curled or carried over the back. In the corded variety
the white Poodle should have dark eyes, black or dark liver nose, lips
and toe nails. The red Poodle should have dark amber eyes, with dark
liver nose, lips and toe nails. The blue Poodle should be of even color,
