I was told by an allergist to adopt a “long-haired” dog after a severe reaction to a short-haired mutt. I adopted a shih-tsu (possibly a lhasa apso or mix of the two) from a shelter and he is perfect–absolutely no allergic reactions,no shedding, smart and sweet. For a small (16 lb) dog he has a deep bark to alert the secret service (they were originally bred, I’m told, to alert the sleeping large dogs in the temples). Shih-tsus are not usually mentioned in a list of hypoallergenic dogs, but they are.

I agree with you, blogger. There are far too many animals in shelters for anyone to be so selfish as to have a dog bred for their tastes.
I own to shelter finds myself and couldn’t be happier with them.
Pugsly is a chow mix and Macy the husky/border collie mix- both beautiful loving dogs.

Since Obama he isn’t going to win he will not need a Presidential Dog. If he decides to get his girls a dog after he loses he should definitely get one from an animal shelter.

There are lots of purebreds as well as crosses in shelters, so the family can choose whatever kind of pup they like.

Find a friend, and save a life Vote 1 a shelter puppy for Obama!

You’re article inspired me to email Senator Obama and encourage him to go to the humane society or to rescue a dog.

I don’t think Senator Obama should be talking like that about hillary Clinton.

I agree, Bob. I found my old dog, a Portuguese Water Dog, at the SPCA. He was the best dog ever.

But I would point out to John that it seems the AKC is running this vote itself. It doesn’t seem that the Obama family is actually involved. So holding it against the candidate seem somewhat unfair.

Obama - Do the Right Thing!!…

I read the following post on Oddly enough and was in such 101% agreement that I am bringing it to you as is,(even though it does smell of dog a bit…)

It seems Barack Obama has promised to get his daughters a dog after the election.

This isn’t even a close call. Of all his mis-steps lately, this one has to rank high. Vote for my dog? Dander pander. Get a shelter animal — or more than one — and don’t brag about it. It’s called doing the right thing.
