Puppy for Malia and Sasha Obama

The Obama children, Malia and Sasha, want a puppy. There are wonderful medium-sized breeds that are known to be good with children:
· American Foxhound
· Australian Shepherd
· Beagle
· Brittany
· Bulldog
· English Cocker Spaniel
· English Foxhound
· Field Spaniel
· Harrier
· Keeshond
· Nova Scotia Duck Toller
· Pharaoh Hound
· Plott Hound
· Portuguese Water Dog
· Shetland Sheepdog
· Spitz
· Standard Poodle
· Sussex Spaniel
· Welsh Springer Spaniel

While all these breeds make fantastic pets for children, the Poodle has curly hair that helps decrease allergy problems. Poodles are also bright, easily trained, and robust. They’d have the athletic ability that Malia and Sasha will look for in a playmate. Lots of poodle rescue groups have wonderful pets to consider, and the girls would be showing the entire country that they care about the plight of homeless dogs if they consider rescuing a pet.

In a future blog, let’s discuss some large dogs that Sasha and Malia might also consider.
