I understand that the Obama family is considering purchasing a Labradoodle (a cross between the Labrador Retriever and the Standard Poodle) puppy as a family companion. In his speech Barack Obama assured his daughters Malia, 10, and Sasha, 7, that they “have earned the new puppy that’s coming with us to the White House.”
This is so exciting! Three of our friends have Labradooles and just totally adore them. I have seen how well tempered they are, intelligent, loving and how great they are with children. To me, a Labradoodle would be a great choice for any family. Even the “First Family” and what great exposure for the breed. Obama’s Labradoodle! It has a nice ring to it! Now that a Labradoodle is it’s own registered breed, other families are seeing what we and our friends have seen for a long time now. These dogs make a wonderful addition to any family.
I think it is great that all the animal people are trying to help Obama find the right dog. It will sure be fun to see what they decide. Of course, I would recommend a cat! But then, that’s another story.
