cool german shepherd

From that picture, you can tell Biden's the father.

Was this not greened earlier today? Perhaps I am wrong.

Oh man, the "conservatives" are going to be outraged over this.

that dog is adorable.

What a beautiful dog.

adorable. the dog's not bad either.

Awwwwww... looka da feets on that widdle biddle baby.

SRSLY - nice. I've always loved German Shepherds. Cute as puppies, handsome as adults, smart as hell, and generally trainable, if their owners put in the effort (exceptions to every rule, of course). I've wanted one for years, but I've never had a place where I could give them the room they need.

That's because dogs aren't in the constitution.

/cute puppy

I do wish he'd adopted rather than bought.

Biden's pup, from Jolindy's German shepherd kennel in Spring City, will be trained and housebroken over the next several weeks and delivered after the inauguration. [...] Mark Tobin, who coordinates the K-9 division for police in Biden's home county of New Castle, Del., will do the training.

He's doing it wrong.

Yeah, yeah. We know already. But what the Fark do the Brothers Grimm have to do with it?

He Who Must Not Be Named was Austrian. But thanks for playing.

The dog has barked more than Biden's been allowed to, lately.

Cheney got a puppy when he first took office, too.

It was reportedly delicious.

That name is for pigs only. Dog deserves WAY better than that.

It's a biatch, I figured the name was appropriate.

Well Obama did promise to get him one when the election was over.

 
ExperianScaresCthulhu 2008-12-14 07:59:44 PM  
A german shepherd! finally, a Real Dog, and not a designer teacup cockapoodledoo.

That puppy's feet are HUGE though. Is that dog part wolfhound?

Came to say this. Obama needs to up the ante and adopt a rednose pitbull.

How is MSNBC getting away with ripping off the North Face logo?

Obama should get an Irish Wolfhound. Can you imagine him standing there with a gigant shaggy, black haired, hound of the Baskervilles looking dog that comes up above his waist?

 
Godwin's Judge 2008-12-14 08:12:18 PM  
You can't blame the German Shepherd, it was only following orders.

 
tartie_pants 2008-12-14 08:12:53 PM  
So if something goes wrong with the obama puppy this one heads to the white house?

 
queezyweezel 2008-12-14 08:14:09 PM  
As opposed to getting an old puppy? I didn't even know they had those.

 
thalidomide new and improved 2008-12-14 08:16:28 PM  
fantastic. If this dog was crippled, Joey Plugs would tell him to go fetch.

/FDR came on tv and told us all to chill during the stock market crash

//yeah he's our VP now. zomg.

eskimeaux: How is MSNBC getting away with ripping off the North Face logo?

A) Today had the sunrise logo first. They were never ripping off North Face.

B) North Face's logo is an interpretation of Half Dome at Yosemite. Today's logo is based on the effect of the sunrise, but the image you've hotlinked is the half version they put on the left-hand nav bar on the website because it works better than the full sunrise.

By the way, MSNBC does not equal NBC.

Uhhhh... yeah. It does. MSNBC is the news-channel arm of NBC, being the division known as NBC News.

Shouldn't the tagline be "Obama's puppy gets a puppy"?

I know THAT. But MSNBC has very little to do with The Today Show.

Also, I read it and thought that eskimeaux was trying to score some sort of neocon point by equating Keith Olbermann with NBC News. That's the way it usually happens when this topic comes up. Neocons try to paint the rest of NBC News with Olbermann's bias and they fail utterly.

This is the politics tab, after all.

My first Shepherd's paws were like that, not at all uncommon for the breed. I miss him. Still have our 2nd, though.

Yeah, I really just went by the news provider selected by submitter, and the "powered by msnbc.com" wording located directly below said hotlinked logo. And the web address.

 
Ringshadow 2008-12-14 08:36:43 PM  
Awww.

I too would rather he adopted, but given the problems that German Shepherds can have I guess I'm ok with it. Hopefully he made sure the blood line is clear of hip dysplasia.

I'm not a historian, but how is calling Hitler German 'fail'? Generally people who inhabit a country are classified by that country, regardless of their birthplace. One of my friends was born in Canada but is now an American because he lives here.

Flash forward 4 years. Aw, Joe Biden's secretary gets his dog. Compassion democrat style. I guess we shouldn't complain. Obama may give his to the cook.

Biden, riding deep with seven black Secret Service vehicles, rolled up to German Shepherd breeder Linda Brown's home in Chester County, Penn. on Saturday and rolled out having chosen the nation's Second Dog.

Ok, when did Joe Biden turn out to be Ludacris in disguise?

Ladies and gentlemen: I present to you FOX's Half Hour News Hour's writing staff.


That was really funny - no sarcasm here. But, while I'm an Obama supporter and Biden fan, I really thought Biden and the puppy looked like they were part of a slideshow for " When Owners Look Like Their Pets.
