"No, I'm not the Presidential pooch; but we sure resemble each other!" barks Mambo. The Obama family has chosen its breed in a Portuguese Water Dog. Awesome working dogs, they were bred to herd fish. They are non-shedding and there are tons of photos and lots of info, to be found by Googling the breed. They WILL eat your house, if you do not run them properly. They are gorgeous! It is exciting to know that the Obamas plan to rescue a dog; good for them!
Mambo, pictured here at an OBX beach, loves the water, too; but he wouldn't dream of herding fish! Oh, and though photos can be deceiving, he is quite huge by comparison to a PWD, weighing in at a whopping 125 pounds....a non-shedding Black Russian Terrier.
Thus far, I'm pleased with the choice I made in voting last November. Let's hope for more good things to come.
