Anyone that wants to give a dog a GOOD home must be great people, but deciding on a type of dog to join your family can be a big decision. I am happy to see that the Obamas are doing their homework to find the right dog, weighing every option. Adding a dog to your family is a big responsibility, and if anyone out there is thinking about running out and getting the same dog as the first family, you need reconsider why you want a dog.
The predictors out there have been pointing to a Portugese Water Dog strongly, but I hear there is still some consideration of a Labradoodle. Either way, the First Lady has indicated that they will be rescuing their choice from one of the more than 250,000 deserving dogs needing a home currently residing in a shelter, rescue or foster home. As I am sure you expected, this is a choice I strongly support. Being a rescue dog myself, I wish everyone would find their four-legged family members from the same place.
