He is also an unusual color -- blue, to be exact. But wait, you say, he looks black.

Fun Fact: All blue poodles are born black. As they age, the coat "clears" or lightens. Zuko is a young boy, so his coat still looks predominantly black, but in the light, you can see some signs of it beginning to change. Cool, huh?

And back to that "showman" thing... His pawrent, Carmen N., shows him herself in UKC dog shows! Which means she is also tasked with maintaining the big boy's coat 24/7. (This is no small task!)
