as to date, the Obama's are debating between a Labradoodle and a Portugese Water Spaniel.
Although I totally support adopting dogs from shelters and rescues, I almost cringe when I think of the DC shelters being swamped with Labradoodles, with everyone hoping that their dog will be chosen for the WhiteHouse. Or worse yet, animal control and rescue nuts kidnapping potential dogs in the hopes that a dog will be chosen at their particular shelter.
I also believe conspiracy theories.......
