Interesting dialog on Obamas new potential dog.

Labradoodle or Portugese water hound is whats on the table currently.

A labradoodle is a cross between a labrador and a poodle. They are quite cute dogs. Idea is they inherit the calm nature of the labrador and the fur of the poodle, making them great dogs for the home - as not much shedding.

Personally, when it comes to chosing dogs, let one chose you - they are a way better judge of who they will get on with than we are!
