In an interview with ABC This Week’s George Stephanopoulos on Sunday, President-Elect Barack Obama revealed that daughters Sasha, 7, and Malia, 10, have shortened the list of possible choices for a new “First Dog” down to two breeds.
“They seem to have narrowed it down to a Labradoodle or a Portuguese water hound. So we’re now going to start looking at shelters to see when one of those dogs might come up.”

Labradoodle dogs are not only good companions but also good watchdogs. They are very easy to train being very intelligent.
