CONTINENTAL CLIP
WITH HIP ROSETTES
Also one of the harder cuts to preform. Face, front
legs between poms and elbow, hind quarter to the pom area and with the exception of the hip rosettes, feet, and base of tail
are all shaved very closely. The pack area is left very, very long and scissored into shape. The top knot is left
very long and pulled into a ponytail. The tail is left long and scissored into a round ball. Poms on the legs
are started just above the wrist and hock joints and end just above the feet. They are also scissored round. The
hip rosettes are placed directly over the hip joint. They are only 1/2 - 1 inch apart (depending upon the variety of
poodle). These are also scissored round. The pack ends 1/2 - 1 inch behind the last rib. There is only 1/2
inch between the end of the pack and the beginning of the hip rosettes. This is an AKC/UKC approved conformation show
clip. This cut requires a lot of time and daily grooming.
CONTINENTAL CLIP
NO HIP ROSSETTES
The only difference between this clip and the other continental clip is that there are no hip rosettes on
this clip. AKC/UKC state that the hip rosettes in this clip are optional.
