Political Fun! Obamas Offered a Bald Pup! What Should They Do?
ednbarby:
I hope they go with the best of all worlds. I can't believe there isn't a shelter in this country that is housing a goldendoodle or labradoodle (or some other hypoallergenic hybrid) that isn't falling all over themselves trying to get the Obamas to adopt their dog.
I think it's really important that they adopt a dog from a shelter. What a great message that would send to the country (sorry, professional breeders, but let's be real): It's a far more nobler thing to better the life of a creature that is already here than to bring a new one into the world that is unwanted from the get-go.

NO POODLES. The President of the United States cannpot be seen with a poodle. Once in awhile, the one man out of the family of 3 women has to put his foot down. NO POODLES. Sorry poodle lovers.
Im warimg up to my greyhound idea more and more, but I got to say, that Peruvian hairless looks kinda cool. kind of like the evil dog in Ghostbusters. Or how about a whole bunch of weine rdogs.
NO POODLES.

The big problem here though is one of the girls is allergic to most breeds of dogs. So the Obama family really don't have a wide range of breeds to choose from. I remember Barack Obama mentioning a Goldendoodle. They are cute. Take a look at my avatar, and try to imagine him with curly poodle hair. :)

Fiddlesticks! Did you take a look at those pics of standard poodles? Nothing the matter with them!

First, sorry I posted a duplicate picture, y'all -- somehow Shasta's post slipped by me.
It would be great if the Obamas adopted from a shelter. The only problem might be that they apparently have to make sure the dog produces a minimum of dander and in a mixed breed, you can't always be sure what the genes will produce and according to his remark, they apparently intend to get a puppy.
A good compromise in that regard would be to seek out a runt or "pet quality" puppy from a breeder. These are animals with normal health and temperament but who don't conform enough to show standards for the breeder to use. That can be a rescue adoption too.
