A new Dog in the Whitehouse

I thought I read that one of the girls is allergic so they have to get a hypo-allergenic dog?

If that's not the case, I think a mutt would be awesome!

I believe this is the case. So I think some kind of poodle or poodle mix.

I think they should get a dog that is still young but not a teeny little pu ppy. someone on another forum mentioned .... imagine having to rush a puppy outside to pee while potty training in that enormous place lol.

I think obama did mention rescue... I hope they choose to still go with that.

Now that you say Mutt == you can go on MSN & vote for which dog you would preferr them to adopt && there was a Cute Wittle Mutt that I voted for that was with a Rescue Group.. This baby is also the Number 1 pick..

I hope they don't go with a "Goldendoodle".

This is what I found on ABCnews...

Just one day after Barack Obama became president-elect, the Obamas have announced that they will in fact get a dog -- an adopted one at that. Michelle Obama told Entertainment Tonight recently that the family would welcome a rescue dog to the White House if Obama was elected, so now it it just a matter of what kind of pooch the family will pick. The Obamas received a petition with 50,000 signatures from the People for Ethical Treatment of Animals asking the family to adopt a dog instead of buying a pet or having one bred.

Going through rescue would be terrific.

I know many worry that which ever breed they select will have a sudden flood of adoptions, not all appropriate.

I hope they'll get a rescue dog, that would be a great signal.

I read in a newspaper today that they will get the puppy already next week. I hope the new dog will become a wonderful new friend to the two Obama girls.
