1. Assuming they do get the Portugese Water Dog

then I'da thunk that the chances of getting one of those from a rescue centre was nil unless its a put up job aka lip service. If they do then I hope they don't have its back cropped like a show dog.



Personally I like Hungarian Pulis but apparently their coats are 24/7 jobs.

4. There are ways to get rare breeds from shelters or rescue groups.

But usually they are expensive and the groups are extremely selective about the people they choose to place them with. But I don't think the Obamas will have to worry about either one of those issues.

7. My wires were crossed when I read your post.

I wondered what the hell Michelle Bachman was up to now, and why on earth she would need a dog. And one with a puppy cut to boot. :scared:
