Puppy Power

America's first family has chosen a six-month-old Portuguese water dog to be the first pet.

President Barack Obama’s daughters, 10-year-old Malia and seven-year-old Sasha, have settled on a black and white pup, to be called Bo, a White House official reported. In an imaginative way the Washington Post described Bo as having "tuxedo-black fur, with a white chest, white paws and a rakish white goatee". The president and first lady had previously confirmed their choice was down to either a PWD or a Labradoodle because they were considered good pets for children who have allergies, as Malia does.

Is the first pet set to become the breed-of-choice for the fashionable dog owner about town?
