The Obama Puppy Bowl May be Down to 2 Finalists

[ellacott]

On Good Morning America Obama said he thinks the girls have narrowed their choices to 2 dogs. The Labradoodle and the Portugese Water dog. They're both cute.

1. All I have to say is "Awwww". Too cute! nt

[ellacott]

4. I know

I like the Labradoodle. :)

2. Why not get both

I can see those two playing on the White House lawn.

[ellacott]

3. Good point

Maybe they'll consider that. :)

[babylonsister]

5. I've read the Obamas are considering two. I hope so. nt

12. Yes, one for each girl!

Are they going to get a puppy/puppies? I know they should get a rescue dog, but how cute would two little puppies be! Oh, the photo opportunities! :loveya:

6. I have 2 Labradoodles. They are wonderful dogs but they do shed.

They are perfect for households with allergies, though. They have the Lab temperment and the Poodle smarts. They can be stubborn but the are very loving and great with kids. One of my 'doodles has waivy hair, the other is curley. Both of mine look more like Labs than Poodles.

7. The Portugese Water Dog is what Teddy Kennedy has

Wonder if he influenced the girls' choice?

8. Portugese Water Dogs are wonderful

We strongly considered getting one. If you read the history of the PWD, they are dogs of great heart and courage.

9. they are both wonderful!!!!!

10. I hope they go with the Labradoodle

just because it's a fun word to say. (And because they're really cute.)

15. I thought the same thing

:)

11. No rescue doggie?

I have one and she is an amazing creature... lab/border collie mix.

[ellacott]

14. He said they are looking at rescue groups now for those breeds

13. Portuguese Water Dog looks more dignified.

16. Barack on ABC: "We're going to start going to shelters and see where one of these dogs show up..."

Good for the PEOTUS.

I still can't figure out why Biden didn't do the same thing with his GSD considering how many are in
rescue and shelters in this country.

17. Ted and his Portugese Water dog.

[Jennicut]

19. Aww, Teddy's doggie is a cutie

[EraOfResponsibility]

18. And he said they're looking at shelters, yessss!

[snowbear]

20. They should get one of each!

21. Father Guido Sarducci says the Portuguese water dog is masculine enough to even...

hangout in the Oval office and watch ballgames on TV.

I know two of them and they don't shed. Very playful and loving.
