Worried about the ramifications
About the next president choosing a dog. It has been on the news a lot that the next first family in the U.S. Will be getting a dog, and they have narrowed their choices down to a portugese water dog or.... a LABRADOODLE! I guess they want a larger dog and their one daughter has allergies so they want a "hypoallergenic" dog. I am just so worried that if they pick a labradoodle that will just increse this uhmm "breed's?" popularity and there will be people popping up all over the place breeding their labs to poodles or vise versa and people lining up to get them without thought because there will be one in the white house. I cannot imagine how many similar dogs will be killed in the same amount of time. Wouldn't it be great if they would rescue a dog, therefore promoting that? I am very very sure that there is many similar dogs waiting and would be easy for them to find. Otherwise I guess I hope they go with the portie. Just wondered what other peoples thought on this was, because it has been in my head for awhile...

I think there has been a lot of discussions on this issue and I am hoping the First Family will consider this before they adopt. It would be so nice if they found a dog that had some of the hypoallergenic properties at a rescue or shelter.

Wouldn't it just be great if they fostered a dog first? If not, there are rescues for the breeds that they are interested in.

Wait until they find out that their labradoodle really isn't "hypoallergenic" like it has been touted.
Bet they could find a nice standard poodle available through rescue.

On the news the other night it was said that they went to a breeder and picked out a GSD puppy...Not sure how true it is though...They showed the breeder with a pup....
I see SOMEONE didn't do their research..Daughter with allergies and a GSD..Hmmmmmm....
