Mr Obama made the promise of a new pet to Malia, 10 and Sasha, seven, in an election victory speech broadcast. "I love you both so much, and you have earned the new puppy that's coming with us to the White House," he told his daughters.
Mr Obama said there were two priorities: to have a "hypoallergenic" breed that sheds less hair, because daughter Malia has allergies, and to have a rescue dog.
The problem, he said, was that lots of rescue dogs are "mutts like me" - a reference to his mixed ethnic background - rather than specific breeds.
Hypoallergenic options could include a labradoodle - a cross between a Labrador and a poodle - a schnoodle (schnauzer and poodle), or a cockapoo (cocker spaniel and poodle). Malia, however, is rumoured to favour a goldendoodle - a poodle crossed with a golden retriever.
Above are quoted from BBC news. Rescue dogs are rescued dogs, not rescuing dogs like St. Barnard. More than 200,000 dogs and 300,000 cats are killed in administration centers in Japan. I feel so sad. Obama should have chosen a rescue dog. If his daughter has allergies, he should give up having animals. They are celebrities.
My parents-in-law had a Doberman Pinscher and after a Labrador Retriever. They gave up another because they have no confidence to keep it. My family could not have a dog as my son has allergies. This news that a goldendoodle is hypoallergenic must be top secret for him.

We are 2 Maltese dogs and we are very hopeful that the new Prez will find an outstanding rescue doggy, because we know he is committed to doing that. LoLLy is a rescue dog and she is a full breed Maltese and there are a surprising number of full breeds in rescue shelters. All of this will hopefully bring a lot more awareness about the many amazing options in rescue shelters! Love, Your PaLs, LuLu and LoLLy! http://www.luluandlolly.com
