Here in our neck of the woods, the front section is the doghouse too.  A good example is I was looking for a Chev PU fender and was in a local wrecking yard owned by a local black family.

A customer came in and asked it they had a front clip for a 59 caddie.  The owner replied that he had a doghouse for the Cad, but a clip was the rear section.  Guess it just depends upon local terminology.  In lots of areas there are regional differences in what we call things.'

Farmer,
As I understand it, the term for the front section of fenders, grill, and
hood is the Doghouse, as it was sometimes used for that. The term
clip applies to the rear section encluding both rear quarters, trunk,
and rear bumper (rearclip). This term was used as the panels were
clipped off at the rocker panel and part way up the  rear roof post.
That is my understanding anyway.
