Obama promises First Dog

Malia, 10, has already expressed a desire for a “goldendoodle,” a hypoallergenic hybrid of a golden retriever and a standard poodle that typically can’t be found at the pound and isn’t recognized as a breed by the American Kennel Club.

Public opinion, however, is already at odds with the First Family. In a recent AKC poll, voters said they would like the Obamas to adopt a purebred poodle.

Via vikax, who asks, “There’s actual public opinion on this?!”

Last night, before he made his speech, Jane said, “Do the Obamas have a pet? They need a puppy!  Every First Family has a dog.”

Later, we speculated about what kind of puppy they might get.  Jane thought perhaps a mutt, but judging from the gorgeous Narciso Rodriguez, I don’t think that’s Michelle’s style.

And now we learn: a goldendoodle!  Of course.  They are just so with it.
