Here's a poodle sporting what I can only imagine is the fashionable dog hairdo of the mid-1600's.  This engraving was created by Wenceslaus Hollar (1607-77) after a work done by the Dutch painter Adriaen Matham.  (Matham was a major figure in Dutch-Moroccan relations; I throw that in for the random pleasure of the finding.)  Over at poodlehistory.org there is a page chock full of details on poodle hair throughout history - have a look.
