    A Great Dane because they make a great statement but are gentle & loving with low energy which are great for a busy lifestyle. Therefore the time spent with them doesn't have to be about play.

    If the allergies are mild, the girls will be fine with a Dane. I have allergies & have been fine with our 2 dogs & cat. I detest resorting meds unless washing my hands & face doesn't bring it under control.

    Also it should NOT be one of the standard AKC recognized show colors. This makes as much a statement as the dog itself.
    Take the Blue Merle (Grey with Black spots) for example: You get some Merles when trying to breed for a Harlequin (White with Black spots) A few decades ago they were drowned as being undesirable. Now the AKC recognizes them as Harlequin breeding stock but still can't be in shows.

    Hadn't they already settled on a labradoodle months ago? I do believe allergies are involved.

    They have talked about adopting a rescue dog, so it will probably be whichever one they fall in love with and is non-shedding so their allergies won't be aggravated.

    I too heard that they will pick a rescue, and yes, one of the girls has allergies. The Dog Whisperer was recommending a Bichon - how about that Sandie?? Then again I heard someone suggest a PitBull and name it Lipstick!

    Barack Obama, it is being reported all over the media today, said they would definitely be getting a shelter dog - and that it would probably be " a mutt - just like me!"

    Hee hee - I often refer to myself as a "good old mutt - I mean American mixed breed" - and if pressed, list of several of the nationalities that are present in my family tree!

    They should get a rescue/shelter dog, and a couple of kitties too. And why not join PT while they're at it!
