Obama Dog, the new "first dog" in the white house

Bo, The new "first dog" in the white house! Papa Obama promised his children Malia (10) and Sasha (7) a dog during his presidential campaign because of the exertions lately. So they've been waiting excitedly. The new family member actually made the trip to the White House earlier to meet the family, to make a bigger surprise and it was a succes!

The six month old obama dog with the black and white soft coat officially moved into the white house yesterday. The portuguese water dog was presented by Barack Obama in the garden in front of lots of cameras. The Obama dog is a gift from Senator Edward "Ted" Kennedy.
The dogs name was chosen by the president family because their cousins have a cat named Bo and because Mrs. Obama's father nickname was Diddley, as in Bo Diddley the musician. That was the statement of the president.

The Obama Family is still deciding where Bo will sleep and who will feed and walk out with the new loved one.

The is the only one, which his daughter Malia can handle, because of her allergy. The portugesian waterdog has no underfur and so it can be considered by people with dog hair allergy.
Bo, the new first dog, is an ideal family dog, he is balanced, teachable, wakeful, fond of children and faithful. "Porties", how the portuguesian water dogs are also called, are balls of energy and are ideal made for dogsports like Agility or Dog-Dancing, they are even perfect lifeguards. This dog is also a hardy, muscular, athletic dog.

Dogs in the white house have a long tradition, even George W. Bush had a Scotchterrier called Barney and a springer spaniel called Spot. Bill Clinton had a chocolate brown labrador called Buddy, and Franklin Delano Roosevelt even took his terrier Fala to confrenences international!

The Obama Dog make great companions. He is can easily be trained in obedience and agility skills. Once introduced, the porties are generally friendly to strangers, and actively enjoy being loved, petted, due to their soft coats, is a favour that human beings willingly grant them.

Dogs like the Obama dog are working animals, so they make unusually good therapy dogs and hearing dogs, even if they seem too small. They are generally content in being at their master's side, awaiting directions, and, if they are trained, they are willing and able to follow complex commands. They learn quickly and the dogs seem to enjoy the training process, and have a long memory for the names of objects.

So the Obama dog is coming out on top for the new "first dog" in the white house!
