Call Lou Dobbs. The First Family is ignoring their own “buy American” philosophy by going with a Portuguese Water Dog as the the ‘First’ dog. What happened to creating jobs for American dogs? I haven’t yet heard any howls of protest from Bill O’Reilly or megaphone-mouthed Sean Hannity who, in the past, have rushed to defend 
Christmas, illegal wiretaps, Dick Cheney, border fences and apple pie. There are plenty of great American breeds out there like: the American Pit Bull Terrier, the Alaskan Malamute, the American Water Spaniel and that symbol of all things patriotic, American and free, the studly Boston Terrier.
Oh and they could have gone with a handsome rescue dog like myself…

Oh come on now, don’t be so ridculous! First of all it was a gift and second, consider the oldest child’s allergies!! Stop nit-picking!!
addition:
Former President Bush’s Barney is from Scotland. origining in the 1700. Originally called Aberdeen Terrier. So this dog is just as unamerican as well. We should not nit-pick, it’s just silly!
Lighten up! My tongue was firmly in my furry cheek on this one…

I know, but in this case… you lighten up.. respectively lol!!

Is this foreshadowing a powerful Portugal-U.S. powerhouse alliance?! Love the post, Seamus. Maybe your breed is the way to go–neither my golden retriever nor my beagle can use the computer, let alone write blog posts.
And mine too, Labrador Retriver… lol!!
Great site!!!!!!!!!!
