We do not keep him trimmed in a standard poodle cut, which may be way so many people wonder what he is. Like all poodles and many (but not all) Laradoodles, Deckard doesn't shed or have a dog smell because he doesn't have fur, but has a coat that is like sheep's wool. As we go walking around town I will keep an I out for Elli - Deckard loves to play!

Or maybe something else? Labradoodles are still rare in Finland. We got ours from the UK last spring and love this active and friendly breed. Elli is now 10 months old and looks just like Deckard, she has a long tail, however. Many people have already asked if Elli is the same breed with the US ambassador´s dog. They have seen the interview on TV and admired Deckard, the same way they admire Elli as well. Best regards Kaisa Olkkonen Dear Mr. Ambassador,
