Obama Family Dog Update at The Insider

President Barack Obama reveals new information about the first family's search for a dog.

Obama told CNN's Anderson Cooper during an interview Tuesday that the family is still undecided about what kind of dog to adopt, but said the much anticipated decision won't take place until the spring.

Last month, Obama revealed that his girls, Malia and Sasha, had narrowed the list of dog choices to two breeds: a Labradoodle or a Portugese water hound.

Do hope that the girls get a dog. Our daughter had allergies and we have had standard poodles for years and she had NO problems with her allergies! Standard poodles are water dogs, retrievers by heredity. Most people look at the show clip on dogs...

I know that it is not on his list of breeds but I would like to see him adopt a Standard Poodle into the family. I have my first Standard Poodle and it would be hard for me to have any other dog in the future. She is so dedicated to pleasing us. so...

The Obama family can not go by the book, telling them that the dog coming in the Spring, is no fair, the girls should have the puppy now not in the Spring or Summer, may be when they are on vacation to take care of the dog. That sound better.

Try a Shih zuh. They are loyal, full of love, extremely smart, and easy to train.

Obama and his family are a breath of fresh air for this country. Sounds like someone is on a jealousy thing or got up on the wrong side of the bed.

i was disappointed that he and his family didn't go to the pound and get a dog like others do when getting a dog from the pound. i don't know why but it made me sad, that they wouldn't visit and see all the dogs and pick the one that loved them the...

He's the not the first president that will make a mistake and I believe he's an honest man and 'assumed' that the people he's choosing are honest as well. He has a lot to take on - he has 8 years of Bush's mistakes to fix and they aren't easy ones....
