I am Greyhound fan and would have loved for an adopted Greyhound (preferable red), to join the Obama family. I vote for the Portuguese Water Dog (pic. left), seems like a fun dog to take to the beach! The girls would have a lot of fun with him or her in Hawaii.

According to the American Kennel Club (AKC), the <A href="http://www.zimbio.com/Portuguese+Water+Dog">Portuguese Water Dog</A> is "prized by fisherrmen for a spirited, yet obedient nature, and a robust, medium build that allowed for a full day's work in and out of the water." The dog has historically been used for "retrieving broken nets, herding schools of fish, and carrying messages between boats and to shore." Take that, Lassie.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.zimbio.com/The+Obama+Puppy/articles/2/Obama+Narrows+First+Dog+Choice+Labradoodle"><DIV>The <A href="http://www.zimbio.com/Labradoole">Labradoole</A>, meanwhile, isn't recognized as an "official" breed by the AKC, but is one of the most popular dog breeds today. A mix of a Labrador retriever and a poodle, the dog was first bred in 1989 in Austrailia. Because the hybrid dog is a relatively recent creation, puppies can have a wide range of characteristics, but most  are friendly, energetic and good for families with children.</DIV></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/4CB14CA9-43DF-415A-AABF-48B90C54F477/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
