"In the " Naturalist's Library " the following remarks occur, which prove the writer to be of a somewhat similar opinion to our own. Under the heading of " The Water-dog, Cants Aquaticus" we find that : " The Water-dog or Poodle of the Germans is in its most perfect state not a British race, but rose into favour first in Germany, and during the revolutionary wars was carried by the troops into France, and only in the latter campaigns became familiar to the British in Spain and the Netherlands."
То есть "Водяная собака или пудель изначально вошел в фавор именно в Германии, и только затем в течение революционных войн был ввезен войсками во Францию")))) во как интересно
