Since the MSM continues on with its' glorious stupidity and enlightening reporting on BHO, wanting to know what puppy the BHO family should pick, I thought it would be fun if we displayed our picks for the family. Since this is of utmost importance and a great priority of the MSM's list of information with which to supply us, let's all join in the MSM fun. No, Tom Brokaw is not allowed to pick. He is far too stupid and would not have the time to investigate.
A breed obtained by crossing Giant Schnauzers with Rottweilers and several other breeds in order to produce
a perfected military service dog suited for the protection of any army installation and for police work. The breed was purposely developed as a guard dog for military and industrial sites in Russia.
The breeding program was initiated after World War II at the Soviet Union's Red Star Army Kennels. The first stud to be involved in this military breeding program was a Giant Schnauzer called Roi (born in 1947). He was mated with several Airedale Terrier bitches, Rottweiler bitches and several other bitches known as Moscow Retrievers, themselves crosses from Newfoundlands, Caucasian Sheepdogs and Eastern European sheepdogs. The other breeds used include the Great Dane, the Borzoi and the Laika.
Now I invite anyone to contribute their pick for BHO and family. Send me a picture and brief description of the dog you choose and I will place it on the blog. Later we can have a vote to see which new puppy would be best for BarryBraveheart and MichelleHell.

Poodles:
Though many think Poodles originated in France it is more likely that they derived from Germany!
Poodles are retrievers; or gun dogs, and can still be seen in that role. Poodles are skilled at most other dog events including agility, obedience, tracking and even herding.
The name Poodle comes from the German word Pudel, which is short for Pudelhund, which means "splashing dog". This reflects the breed's use as a water dog--the word "pudel" is in fact related to the English word "puddle"
Willibeaux's Pick
Pekingese, or Pekinese, is an ancient breed of toy dog, originating in China. They were the favored pet of the Chinese Imperial court.
They were considered a guardian spirit as they resembled Chinese lions.
Pekingese can be stubborn and jealous. Do not expect them to come when it is called. Pekes are sometimes aggressive, especially to other dogs, and it may take a long time for Pekes to get used to any other dogs except puppies and siblings. The Pekingese personality has been compared to a cat. Where a cat can be trained, a Pekingese needs to be convinced that the training is beneficial to him as well as to you.
The Pekingese is generally a one-person dog. Many breeders will not place the breed in households with young or boisterous children as they do not enjoy rough play.
The Pekingese is a large dog in a small body. It expects to be respected and will not tolerate being treated otherwise.

Rottweiler:
In the hands of a responsible owner, a well-trained and socialized Rottweiler can be a reliable, alert dog and a loving companion. However, any poorly trained dog can become a danger in the wrong circumstances. In general, Rottweilers are fond of children, very devoted, quick to learn, and eager to please. They are typically very bright dogs. Rottweilers are playful animals who may frequently demand attention from their owners. However, if they are not receiving the mental stimulation they desire, they will find creative and sometimes destructive ways to elicit it. Such behavioral problems as chewing, barking for attention, and eating less, can be a result of lack of human interaction. The Rottweiler is a good working dog that is also good for protection of children, as well as guard duties.
The Rottweiler is a steady dog with a self-assured nature, but early socialization and exposure to as many new people, animals, and situations as possible are very important in developing these qualities. The Rottweiler also has a natural tendency to assert dominance if not properly trained. Rottweilers' large size and strength make this an important point to consider: an untrained, poorly trained, or abused Rottweiler can learn to be extremely aggressive and destructive and, if allowed to run at large, may pose a significant physical threat to humans or other animals. They can be strong-willed (bull-headed) and should be trained in a firm, fair, and consistent manner - the owner must be perceived as the leader. If the owner fails to achieve this status the Rottweiler will readily take on the role. However, Rottweilers respond readily to a clear and benevolent leader. Aggression in Rottweilers is associated with poor breeding, poor handling, lack of socialization, natural guarding tendencies, and abuse.
The Rottweiler is not usually a barker. Male dogs are silent watchers who notice everything and are often quite stoic. Females may become problem barkers in order to protect their den. An attentive owner is usually able to recognize when a Rottweiler perceives a threat. Barking is usually a sign of annoyance with external factors (car alarms or other disturbances) rather than a response to actual threats.

Pit Bull:
The APBT is a strong-willed, sturdy companion. It is a breed that is loyal to friends and family, and friendly to strangers. Under a firm hand, APBTs are obedient and show a high desire to please. However, when left without direction they can be become stubborn and they're a breed well-known for dog aggression, though the media may perpetuate this stereotype.
A well bred APBT should have a stable and dependable temperament. The American Temperament Testing Society shows a pass percentage of 84.1% for American Pit Bull Terriers. However, a firm, even hand and early obedience training are strongly recommended for this breed. They generally have a lot of energy and high predator drive; they need exercise and stimulation in order to channel their energy properly and not become frustrated, bored, and destructive.
APBTs often display dog aggression, especially towards unfamiliar dogs of the same sex or level of assertiveness. Early socialization and good training can mean that many individuals of the breed never display this trait; however, there is no guarantee. Extra precautions can be taken with this type of dog to prevent any incidents. While an APBT may not start a fight, even the best socialized pit bulls generally do not tolerate as much from other dogs as other breeds might. As dogs bred never to back down from a fight, it is sometimes more responsible to avoid certain situations of interaction if the owner feels that he or she cannot handle the dog. A responsible owner should not let their dog interact with strange dogs unsupervised and should know how to avoid a dog fight.
Dogged's Pick
Labradors are a well-balanced and versatile breed who make excellent pets. As a rule, they are not excessively prone to being territorial, pining, insecurity, aggression, destructiveness, hypersensitivity, or other difficult traits which sometimes manifest in a variety of breeds. As the name suggests, they are excellent retrievers. As an extension of this, they instinctively enjoy holding objects and even hands or arms in their mouths, which they do with great gentleness.
They are prone to chewing objects, though they can be trained out of this behavior. The Labrador Retriever's coat repels water to some extent, thus facilitating the extensive use of the dog in waterfowl hunting.
Labradors have a reputation as a very mellow breed and an excellent family dog, including a good reputation with children of all ages and other animals. Coming in different colors makes an excellent choice where the owner is a mutt.
Whoops! Charlie Rose must have hacked into my blog!
John Meachum, Managing Editor of Newsweek
Meachum breed is dumber than dirt and a coward. Since there is very
little knowledge acquired in this breed, they are not trainable and make
very poor pets for families. As guard dogs they are not good. They have
a habit of hiding important items in the household so can not be trusted.
Uh oh. I wonder who put this breed up???
Biden breed has a habit of barking in stammering
sounds, makes huge mistakes in training, and sheds
too many hair plugs. Not good for families with allergies.
Goshawk's Pick
No description available but it is ugly.
Must be a mutt.
GunnyG's Pick
Same description as standard poodle but obviously smaller and can't run as fast. This could be bad
if it wants to get away from the family, particularly the father.
Anonymous selection. Description sent by this anon
individual had listed characteristics as dumb as a box
of rocks, picky about dog food and only eats Alpo.
Barks loudly for no reason. Untrustworthy but loyal
to Marxism doctrine. Sees nothing, knows nothing.
Can roll over and play dead though.
Crawfish's Pick
Oldest breed native to America. It is believed to have come from the Spanish war dogs of DeSoto's expedition, which ran wild when the expedition died off, and the red wolves of Louisiana. First found in the Catahoula region of Louisiana. Louisiana state dog. Slightly webbed feet to deal with the swamps. VERY intelligent dog...one of very few breeds that one dog can be used as a hunting dog and a herder in the same day. OUTSTANDING with kids. Size range in adults from about 50-80 pounds.

Southwestern Coyote
Sly, wily, sneaky, and eats other dogs.
Not good for children, might eat them too.
Very helpful keeping reporters away though
as the new POTUS doe not like to answer questions,
this would be a real plus for the new W/B House residents.
Anonymous Pick
More like a parrot than a dog as it repeats sentences like I don't know, oh you did not know, oh so no one knows.
I see nothing, I hear nothing, I know nothing. Could be good for a pet as it could be used as the Press secretary to the president.
This breed is good at the crawl command, but does not go after the ball no matter how often you try to get it to do so.
Always drops ball right in front of itself and does not know what to do with it.
Another Anonymous Pick - they just keep coming in!
Jeremiah Wright who calls himself a Reverend. Hates whitey so would be very useful as pet to the new W/B House family. Possible good watch dog to keep whiteys away and press corp with his raving barking. Good at lying so would also make a very good Press Secretary. You cannot teach this breed any tricks however. If you get this breed you are stuck with what you get.
Str8_talk's Pick
Mountain Cur Height 18-26 inches Weight 30-60 lbs.
The Mountain Cur is bred for its working ability; maybe it could teach BO how to. The ears are prominent and the eyes are dark and wideset and the muzzle/mouth is heavy. They say that many times the dog resembles the master. This is not a submissive, easygoing dog and has learned to be decisive and dauntless. They make consistent guard dogs but not ideal for suburbia where there is no call for work. They will face any wild animals even a wild cat when cornered, this could come in handy with reporters. They also are good at treeing squirrels and coons. They're very protective of the property and family
Buck's Pick
Coon hounds can hunt individually or as a pack. Generally, hunters don't chase their quarry along with the hounds, unlike organized foxhunting, but wait and listen to the distinctive baying to determine if a raccoon or other animal has been treed. Besides raccoons, coon hounds are excellent at handing all manner of prey if trained properly.
Besides hunting, coon hounds are wonderful family dogs that are known to be good with children. They also make good watchdogs with an impressive, loud bark.
GrayGhost's Pick
Not much know about this breed, but it does not look good.
