The Obamas Breed of Choice
The whole world seems to want to know what kind of breed the Obamas are getting. Michelle Obama told People Magazine that they will be getting the dog when the Obama daughters Sasha and Malia come back from Spring break in April. But the question everyone’s dying to know is, what kind?
The choice has finally been narrowed down to one breed! Mrs. Obama says the family is looking for a rescue Portuguese water dog who is “old enough” and a “match” for the family dynamic. “Frank” and “Moose” are two name choices the girls have come up with.
“Temperamentally they’re supposed to be pretty good,” Michelle Obama said. “From the size perspective, they’re sort of middle of the road – it’s not small, but it’s not a huge dog. And the folks that we know who own them have raved about them. So that’s where we’re leaning.”
So what does the first lady think of all the attention from the public regarding the family dog search? Michelle says “One of the things I didn’t anticipate is the level of the excitement about the dog. I knew my kids were excited. They’ve been excited for years. They’ve even calmed down, because they feel like, ‘They said we’re going to get one, so let’s just shut up about it.’ “
She adds, “It’s all great and gracious attention. People are just being as helpful as you can imagine. So I know that we will find the perfect breed. And we’ll find people who are caring folks who will help us find the dog of our dreams.”
Good luck on the search!
