Portuguese Water Dogs are hypoallergenic...I figured they'd end up with either a PWD or a poodle.

Good for them.

Its not news.

At his first press conference as president, Barack Obama quipped that the family should get a "mutt like me" in reference to his mixed racial heritage.

Well, even if it's a purebred, they do come in black and white.

Yea, we gotta stop driving that into the river.

I wonder if he'll give the dog the same name that Wing Commander Guy Gibson gave his dog.

I kinda doubt it.

Even worse, they're the breed most used for studying narcolepsy.

This water dog will surely be a bridge for the future.

I guess the "President has to have a dog" meme goes back to Nixon?

Why is it a good idea to have a large hairy animal running around in a historic mansion full of priceless antiques?

Dobermans named "King".

I've played with Ted's dogs before at the dog park (with my dog), they are neat dogs but really really ugly. Yeah they're cute as puppies but all dogs are. When they grow up they are ugly. They're faithful, fun, and they don't shed. But ugly is ugly, I'd rather have a beautiful lab that sheds like crazy.

I wonder how long it will take until Rush limbaugh shows a picture of said dog

Why would he name his dog splash?

I mean, honestly.

Could be worse, they could have chosen a pug (new window, be sure to view the slideshow).

Should have gotten a bloodhound. There is no joke in there, they're just great dogs.

There's a PWD Rescue up in Coopersburg PA. Hopefully they'll go there.

Eisenhower had a dog, so did Kennedy and Johnson before Nixon....

The only thing I know about Portuguese Water Dogs is that they heard fish into nets. I think that is pretty cool.

List of Presidential Pets (new window)

Benjamin Harrison had a pet goat and pet 'possums.

Hayes had a pet cat named 'Miss Pussy.'

Kennedys dog is not named Splash. It's cappy.

I'd be surprised if he didn't. Presidents as far back as Hayes have had Presidential cats. Sometimes a few.

My friend has one of those... That dog is hyper like my CoJack, but is huge! Loveable, though.

Interestingly, John Adams apparently had a dog named Satan running around the Whitehouse.

He's in to sailing and shiat, and he's not nearly as obsessed with killing that chick as a bunch of farkers who were probably not even born when it happened. Character flaws all around...
