Didn’t they settle on this breed because it won’t trigger one of the daughters’ allergies?
Getting a rescue dog is so... common!
Not good enough for Special People.

Will the First Daughters help wok the dog?
On june 28 I was able to complete the rescue of a pure bred lady german shepherd who had been abandoned and left to starve in the yard of her former owners home. She was in the yard with the puppies and her mate. The owners were divorcing and just left the dogs there.
The male was adopted, all but one of the pups, and the mama still needed a home.
When I first saw her she was a skeleton with teats. I have never seen a dog so skinny.
I have had her almost two months now, and she is just awesome. She looks absolutely stunning now, and is just a joy to be around.
She was my first rescue dog, and I have to say uniting with her was one of the best moves I’ve made in my life. I feel like God sent her to me.
We have one purebred Golden Retriever and one Black Lab stray. Have done my part.
That breed stuff goes right over the heads of homeless pets. All of them deserve a home regardless of background or coloration.
Drive a stake through my heart, I’m going to defend the Mahdi and Moochelle on this one. A little less than three years ago a wonderful dog of mine died and I set out to replace him with a Daneador (Dane/Lab cross) by doing internet searches. No luck. Then I went to Great Dane Rescue looking for a puppy. They had a long application process and were very reluctant to place puppies with anybody but people with special connections. Hence, I went to the regular market and was able to get a wonderful puppy for a little less than $1,000, including transportation and shots, just about what I would have spent with GD Rescue, but a lot fewer hassles. In short, it’s very hard to get a specific breed and age without going to a breeder, and I don’t blame the Obamas for doing what I did.
We want a pedigree for our dog... but breeding in humans is elitist!! :)
Because knowing the animal’s breeding history is a big factor in determining how good the meat will be.
Sorry, but I hate to say I agree with Obama on this. He should make a deal with the Humane Society - You get whatever kind of dog you want and I’ll get whatever kind of dog I want.
Are you kidding? A used dog for the “One”?
One mutt in the White House is enough.
“Why not a rescue dog?”
Soooooo many possibilities.
The first one was a gift from Ted KENNEDY and wife.
Come now, rules are for the Little People, not King Putt and his brood. . .
As Bo appeared to be limited to photo ops, I suspect the reason for the second dog is puppies. Expect them to be “gifted” to special donors. (For only $5 million, you can have an historic Obama White House puppy...)
Will the new dog get its own airplane or will it have to suffer the indignity of sharing a plane to Martha’s Vineyard for vacation?
A rescue dog? With no pedigree? Surely you jest! The Emperor, I mean the President, would not sully himself with such an unseemly animal.
Why not a rescue dog?
Well, isn’t the question why not a transgendered-gay-undocumented resident-environmentally sensitive-marxist leaning-from a minority breed?
Of course such a dog would feed exclusively on spotted owl and snail darter, so I guess it’s back to the pet shop...
