Predict the type of DOG the Obamas will get...

[Essene]

IRC last night couldn't decide.

Major contenders in our debate: a flotilla of corgis, shih zhu, golden retriever, pitbull (with lipstick), border collie.

[Labors of Hercules]

1. I'd like to see a border collie or sheltie.

:shrug:

[Girlieman]

2. Basset Hounds Drool, er, Rule!

[frickaline]

3. I vote Terrier! n/t

[julialnyc]

4. Golden Retriever

Don't know why... I just picture it

[Enrique]

5. Great Dane

I want to see pictures of Obama walking a Great Dane. Or better, three of them.

[LynneSin]

6. Whatever it's going to be, it will be from the humane society

that's what I love about Barack Obama!

[murray hill farm]

No matter what the breed...

there are rescue groups for it...and dogs that needs homes.

[hamsterjill]

25. Yes!!!!!!

I am SO glad that the Obamas have made that statement. It will be a wonderful "advertisement" to America that it's awesome to save a shelter pet.

Whatever kind of dog that they get, I applaud them for using their status to bring attention to this issue. It was really a nice touch, too, that Obama mentioned this in his speech last night!

[Windy]

7. Golden Retreiver or Chocolate Lab n/t

[frogcycle]

8. too bad bush has scottish terrirers

they'd have been perfect

[Essene]

10. i know i know... it's a shame...

[murray hill farm]

9. Tri black, Australian Shepherd.

Beautiful and smart dog...good with kids....and three beautiful colors...black, brown and white.

[DainBramaged]

11. Lab, like my baby, would make me cry so hard

[bklyncowgirl]

12. I'm partial to Border Collies but I think one of the kids has allergies

I'd guess it would be some breed that sheds less and doesn't trigger allergies.

[natrat]

13. a beautiful lost and lonely puppy from the aspca

[sentelle]

14. my prediction

A mixed mutt.

While it seems a bit droll, think about it.

First: Obama said it will be a shelter dog. That's the most common breed.

Second: in his own way, he's a mixed mutt.

Third: it would show a common (man) touch.

I like mutts. My dog is one, and my dog is the happiest bitch I know. An 80 pound black dog, that looks a lot like a flat-coated retriever, but with longer, softer hair.

[bunkerbuster1]

15. mutt from the pound, I hope.

[Jersey Devil]

16. Perfect! A rescue dog

My daughter did that a few years ago and the pooch is the sweetest dog ever.

[natrat]

17. we have awesome 2 mutts and pure bred herding dog; the herder is kind of an ass

[BigDDem]

18. Golden Retriever or a mutt

[derby378]

19. A spayed female pitbull named Sarah?

Seriously, a dog from the ASPCA would be a wonderful idea.

[Hepburn]

20. Labradoodle ~~ allergy free. One of the girls has allergies.

Cute, or what??? :hi:

[Essene]

29. HAH... perfect (i didnt know one had allergies, not that it is surprising these days)

very cute :D

[salbi]

21. I think allergies factor in, so I would recommend a Yorkie

I have allergies and a Yorkie. They have a sweet temperament and look like a teddy bear!

[dee15644]

22. I'd like to see

a shelter dog! So many dog's are put down everyday that I would like to see him rescue a dog! Just like he did the USA!!!! GO Obama!!

[slampoet]

23. Our Pug From a Pug Rescue is the best dog a kid could have........

Loyal.
Friendly to a fault.
Quiet except when happy.
Gets along with other dogs.
Snores and makes other great funny sounds.

Our pug makes us laugh all day long.
