Canadian breed standard
"A Poodle under 12 months may be shown in the "Puppy Clip". In all regular
classes, Poodles 12 months or over must be shown in the "English Saddle" or
"Continental" Clip. A Poodle shown in competitive classes in any other clip
shall be disqualified. However, the Brood Bitch and Stud Dog may be shown in any
clip.
(a) Puppy Clip
A Poodle under a year old may be shown in the Puppy Clip with the coat long. The
face, throat, feet, and base of the tail are shaved. The entire shaven foot is
visible. There is a pompon on the end of the tail. In order to give a neat
appearance and a smooth unbroken line, shaping of the coat is permissible.
(b) English Saddle Clip
In the English Saddle Clip, the face, throat, feet, forelegs, and base of tail
are shaved, leaving bracelets on the forelegs, and a pompon on the end of the
tail. The hindquarters are covered with a short blanket of hair except for a
curved shaved area on each flank and two shaved bands on each hind leg at the
stifle and hock joints. The entire shaven foot and a portion of the shaven
foreleg above the bracelets are visible. The rest of the body may be shaped in
order to ensure overall balance.
(c) Continental Clip
In the Continental Clip, the face, throat, feet, and base of the tail are shaved.
The hindquarters are shaved with pompons (optional) on the hips. The legs are
shaved leaving bracelets on the forelegs and rear legs. There is a pompon on the
end of the tail. The entire shaven foot and a portion of the shaven foreleg
above the bracelets are visible. The rest of the body may be shaped to ensure
overall balance.
In all three clips the hair of the topknot may be left free, or shaped, or held
in place by elastic bands used only on the skull."
