I love the continental I have never attempted it but whilst in lockdown I’m considering trying to get the pattern trimmed into diva.
Does anyone have pics of their own poodles in continental ?
Any tips on hip rosettes welcomed 😁

I went for it! I know the rosettes are way off. I tried get the shape but it got smaller and smaller then I had to make them match so they got smaller again 🙈
I need some criticism on the setting of trim. I know she needs more coat in places. Are the bracelets and jacket in the right place?

I don't have the experience to offer critique but I say good for you to go for it!

Wow, I agree, that’s a great job! I don’t have any good tips. Ido my own grooming but have not attempted a continental. I can see where the rosettes could be longer but overall it is very nice, and she is a beautiful poodle.

I did a search and found a couple of recent threads. One is from a member who shows and does beautiful grooming of her spoo. She made some videos which are linked in that thread. The other mentions a Facebook group that might be helpful, if you do FB.

How to Groom the Modified Continental

Did up some videos on how to groom the modified continental. I had some technical difficulties in filming and uploading so it’s a bit chopped up but hopefully it’s helpful or interesting to some of you. Clipping https://youtu.be/hPo07rcZN54 Scissoring the rosettes https://youtu.be/T7C-xP4-T1c...

Continental

Is it easier to wait till the coat is at the right length or to set the pattern in the continental and let the coat grow in that way. I am going to do the continental cut but not sure if I should wait till he has more coat. I am impatient and would love a little less hair to deal with too lol

Thanks. I had no idea what I was doing with the rosettes, it may become a lion trim soon 😂 Thank you 😊🐩

Oh yes I remember seeing the continental thread not long ago, I’ve just a good diagram on there. And those vids I look really good. Thanks for sharing!
