    IT was matted in her hair and all yucky!

    I had two dogs! A ShiTzu Terrier mix and a Lhasa.


    I got tired of the terrier tracking dirt into the bed after his Midnight Treks!

    I wonder that a PWD brings to the table!

    ------------

    This is an obvious prediction.

    Water Dog ownership will go up and you will hear about it later on?

    How funny!

    The Boys can even find something nasty to say about the President getting a dog!

    Wow...must be tough work being so negative!

    The dog went to a home where there was an existing PWD...and the older dog became very unhappy.

    So Bo had to go....the breeder...being responsible --- took it back and looked for a new home (so it would NOT end up in a rescue...) and the new home - thanks to Ted Kennedy...The White House.

    A nice story...

    Gotta agree with you on this Ellie. It has happened before. Apparently sales of dalmatians skyrocketed after the movie 101 Dalmatians came out. That is the mentality of some folks.....be like "fill in the blank" and get a dog like they have. Once again I am so thankful that they didn't choose a labradoodle. The backyard breeders would have a heyday keeping up with the demand.

    I agree PWOs are awesome dogs and BO is adorable. Our neighbour has a PWO and she is amazing - very smart, spirited and a wonderful little friend. Good training, exercise and lots of love = superdog!! (This is true for all breeds)

    I'm happy for the Obamas - especially the girls - having a little fur buddy is always a good thing

    I got this in an email today from the Michigan Agility List.

    It's an article entitled The Obama Dog: The Breeder tells the Tale. Good read.

    To be honest, I don't care what kind of dog the Obama family has. Maybe it's just me who feels this way. I AM glad the girls have their dog, but, does it REALLY have to be announced all over the world? Don't bash me if you disagree with me, it is just how I feel.

    Very enjoyable article. I laughed when I read this -
