"Historically correct continental, 2001"

<-- The trim on the left is what is currently being promoted by various people in America as the "HCC Trim" (historically correct continental), suitable for use by all Poodles particularly those for field and other performance activities. It is simply a more severe, less stylised, version of today's Continental Trim. It conforms to the Breed Standard requirement in terms of trim pattern.

PARTIS - HARLEQUINS - PHANTOMS

Mismarked Poodles in the Pet Trim (often referred to in Australia as The Lamb Trim). The colours are known by various names which differ in different countries, including
Parti-Colour	which has a white base coat with spots, patches or saddling of a different colour, often black.
Phantom	consisting of two colours in the combination of Black and Tan, Black and White, Black and Silver, Silver and Cream, Apricot and Tan. Generally the pattern of markings will be the same as seen on a Dobermann Pinscher (that is, the marking are symmetrical).
Harlequin	consisting of three or more colours. # In Germany, Black and White Partis are registered as "Harlekin", the Black and Apricot Partis as "Black and Tan"
It should be noted that the Australian Breed Standard requires "any solid colour" so the above Poodles would be ineligible for the show ring in Australia and cannot be registered. PLEASE NOTE: PoodlesInAustralia.com does NOT encourage the breeding of mismarked Poodles - so many breeders over so many generations have worked hard to create the required "solid colour" (and breed out the mismark which was common in the ancestors of the current day Poodle). We acknowledge this fact and in no way condone the deliberate breeding of a mismarked Poodle. That said, it should also be noted: In Europe they can be shown in either or both club and championship shows - regulations vary from country to country. In America they can be registered with the Americaqn Kennel Club and can compete in Agility and Obedience ..... ....and rightly so, as a mismarked Poodle (through no fault of its own - entirely caused by the breeders) is still a PURE BRED Poodle and it is to be hoped Australia joins the REST OF THE WORLD in acknowledging this fact. If America and all European countries can recognise it, why can't Australia?

Nola Molloy is a very well known and successful Australian Standard & Miniature Poodle breeder with numerous champion and obedience titled Poodles bred under her "Chappelle" prefix. "I have been breeding them (partis and harlequins) for 11 years from solid colours. It has taken me many years to get good type to go with the colours. They are not registered as I felt the solid pups could have ended up back in the solid lines ..... I know breeders have worked to keep the white spotting gene OUT so a solid dog with parti genes WOULD cause trouble."
