I wonder why they don't look for a standard poodle, why a labradoodle...bleh....

I would never come out and say that, but honestly that was my first thought. It is not like grooming (which might be an expense) would be a problem. Aside from that, who wouldn't want one? (OK I know I am a wee bit biased. )

I agree. When I saw that headline today I told my employees, "He's thinking a labradoodle!" and their unanimous response was the same ... "What? A labradoodle!? You've got to be kidding!"

Plus, as far as grooming, labradoodles require just as much as standard poodles, at the same cost.

I am praying he goes to a rescue ... but I sense with two little girls, the "But we want a puppy, Daddy!" factor is going to be hard to overcome.

He has an opportunity to make himself an example...this country kills millions of animals every year, now with all eyes on him I sure hope he rescues.

Me too. Maybe Oprah can enlighten him about puppy mills and designer breeds.

Sen Kennedy is suggesting the PWD as he owns two (just saw it on the news). Fonzie (Henry Winkler) is a Labradoodle owner who claims they don't shed. Sen. Kennedy challenges him on that as I do. I will sit on the edge of my seat to see how this plays out. For my part, I am hoping they choose the PWD or a labradoodle rescue.

I thought the shedding allergy thing was a myth, I thought it was their dander that caused allergies and the best thing to do is regular bathing?

I heard this too, Pam. I'm listening to the news now, and it was mentioned that they are going to a shelter first. I'm all for the PWD too. I hope with being in school, playing with friends, that they don't lose interest after Daddy Obama tells them to do poop pick up duty. I know they'll have "People" to do that, but that certainly won't teach responsibility. He**, my parents didn't trust me enough with my social life, to have a dog until I was 40 and sowed some wild oats!
