: The article states that the new royal puppy
: is a 'Labradoodle' (a cross between a
: Labrador-Retriever and a Poodle). The black
: color comes from the Labrador, the curly
: coat from the Poodle. Labradoodle (although
: they're really mutts rather than breeds)
: have become very popular these past few
: years. They're also popular in the U.S.A.,
: and our own dog is one of these, too, so I
: guess we're in good company. But i'd have
: thought that the Norwegian Kronsprins family
: would have gotten a Norwegian Elkhound.
: (This breed is also present in the U.S.A.,
: though not as commonly seen, and one of my
: friends has one.)
I am not sure if the Crown Prince is into hunting. Don't know, really. I can see the reason for not choosing a hunting dog, besides the kids' problems with allergy. But what a funny name of the dog! I suppose that she is from a M brood (it is quite common that all puppets from the same brood are given names starting with the same letter). Maybe the kids came up with Kakao in addition ("Kakao" is Norwegian for "cocoa", but I guess you have figured that out already).
