April is the date for the White House dog ...

The Obama family will be getting their Portuguese Water Dog in April after they get back from the girl's Spring Break. They'll be getting one from rescue that's, "'old enough' and a 'match' for the family dynamic." They haven't come up with a name yet.

I am so glad that it will be from a rescue.

Just read this online and was about to post, glad I searched! I'm so happy they are going to get a rescued dog! I think its a good choice, very happy they are not going to get a so called "designer dog" like the labra golden poodle schmoodle whateveryawanna call it. Good choice!! Can't wait to see those girls with the new first dog!

Glad to hear they're not getting a -doodle or some other kind of mixed up "designer" dog, and that they're going through a rescue!

I am very happy to hear this and I hear this breed of dog is awesome (like any breed) but they are very fun dogs. I watched on Dog 101 - The President's Dogs and it was really interesting to see who had what. One thing they did say is that the dog that the president gets should be very social since they are always in the spotlight..it was a good episode.

Sounds like they did good by going with a dog that would fit with them and their family instead of going with something that "fit" the part of president.

Glad to hear its a rescue. Maybe this will stop and make some people think to.
