The Obama's need to get or at least see a Cockapoo - a cross between a cockerspaniel and a poodle. My grandchildren have had one for 2 years. He is wonderful with kids and he loves to play. His name is Mitch. The Cockapoo is so much better looking than the Portuguese Water Dog. Don't take my word for it; check it out.

#5 definitely has some serious issues. sounds like he's part of the family that named their kid adolf hitler and aryon nation. sick people in this world but pres obama would still smile, shake their hands , and say "how can we work together" lmao. as for the dog of choice, it should be whatever the girls pick because they are the ones that will be spending time with it. i think a white dog...have to do oposite of what color bush had lol just as long as they get it's hur done and it's nails did...corn rolls and some beads...now were talking lol

I prefer the Portuguese Water dog. They are adorable and sweet.
Labadoodles can be really cute but their coat is unpredictable until they are a little older. Also , they are not completely hypoallergenic. For increase potential of hypogenic labadoodle, brred 1st generation with a full bred poodle so the dog is 3/4th poodle which are hypoallergenic.
Standard Poodles are fantastic dogs and are extremely loyal, playful, sweet, smart, fun, funny, will be your daughters best friend, easy to train. If you have the dog groomed with a puppy cut every 6-8 weeks they are adorable. they also love to swim, fetch, play hide/seek will follow your daughters and they will absolutely love him. A male makes a better companion dog. I have a standard and he is the greatest dog in the world.

I prefer the Portuguese Water dog. If the the dog is not completely hypoallergenic, it will enjoy and tolerate daily bathes to remove the allergens on it's skin and coat. There is recent evidence that a consistant natural food diet and/or BiJac Fresh Frozen dog food will also increase the likelihood that the dog's saliva and derm will not emmit the allergens. Shampooing the dog with Vo5 Shampoo and nonfragrant Vo5 conditioner might eliminate contact dermatitis, if the children suffer from that form of allergic reaction.

They should pick a terrier. Terriers were originally bred to hunt and kill rats. There are so many rats in the democratic party it might stand him well to have a dog that will hunt them down so he can get rid of them. For example, half his cabinat picks have broken laws or not paid their taxes. Gonna be an interesting 4 years. So much for a refrshing change. All he has shown me is he is a master at showmanship.
