LABRAPORT OR PORTUDOODLE FOR FIRST PUPPY?


The Obama family has narrowed their choice for First Dog to two breeds - a Labradoodle, a cross between a Lab and a poodle, and Portugese water dog, writes the NY Daily News. But will the First Family still be able to keep the promise to adopt from a shelter? A peek on Petfinder.com shows only 10 Portugese Water dogs in the whole country, and most of them are mixed. Of the more than 18,000 labradors in shelters, it's likely many are a mix between a lab and a poodle.

So how to solve the ruf dilemma: How about a mix of a Portugese water dog and a Lab? Check out Gus, who's up for adoption at the Angels in Fur Dog Rescue, in Grenada Hills, CA.
Or Blackie - a mix between a Portugese water dog and a poodle.  She's 3 years old and looks like a labradoodle.   Either could be a good fit for Malia and Sasha.
