President’s 2 daughters, Malia, 10 and Sasha ,7 chose the name Bo because their cousins have a cat named Bo and because Mrs Obama’s father was nicknamed Diddley, as in Bo Diddley. Bo is a gift from Sen.Ted Kennedy, who happen to have 3 dogs of the same breed. These breed of dogs are known to have high spirits and good for kids with allergies .

President Barack Obama told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos on Sunday that the dog will probably be a “Labradoodle” (that’s me) or a “Portuguese Water Hound.” These dogs are considered good choices for kids as well as adults with allergies .
