I bet every commercial breeder in North America is hoping he picks a goldendoodle too! Just think of the money they will make off of this one.

I think I am going to be sick.

Ya, I heard this yesterday or the day before I thought the same thing you did, LavenderRott!

I hope their daughter doesn't have that bad of allergies. Because goldendoodles are not necessary hypoallergenic. I just had to rehome one because of severe allergies....the family also thought the breed was hypoallergenic, broke their heart to give him up.

I saw in an interview yesterday he said that he was going to rescue a shelter dog.

When I heard him mention 'hypoallergenic', I must say I groaned. Is there such a thing - except for a crested?
And then later he referred to himself as a 'mutt'!
Great guy. You made the right choice, America.

Yeah, I liked the mutt comment too. LOL
That would be cool if they got a crested!

Ho no no no ! Lolll...As a member of a Crested forum,we don't want to see a Crested in the White House.
It could become the next breed to get and BYB would be way too happy.
There are way too many crested in shelters already.
We prefer that the president choose a dog in a shelter.
A purebred poodle from a shelter would be great and the breed is already well known.
You know what happen when a celeb gets a dog, everybody wants the same breed.

I do hope someone has since mentioned to him that no dog or cat is really hypoallerginic. I'm rooting for a shelter dog as well though.
