I looked that presidentialpup.com site, and the only choices offered were "Bichon Frise, Chinese Crested, Miniature Schnauzer, Poodle, or Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier."

Are those dogs? The poodle is the only breed (or rather bunch of breeds) I've ever even heard of. But after Tony Blair that term "the President's poodle" surely has too much political baggage.

Perhaps they need to set up a few primaries or caucuses to help decide...
