Thanks for letting us know -- I can sleep easier now! ;-)

Yep, I read about that too. Not a rescue dog, which is unfortunate, but even worse is that there will probably be a bunch of people who will rush out to get a PWD without doing proper research on the breed. They are VERY high energy dogs and need a LOT of exercise. They also love to CHEW. The puppy mills are probably already gearing up for the anticipated demand :(

Well, maybe when the Obamas decide to get a second PWD, there will be plenty available in rescues :(

Since the dog was a "gift" from Ted Kennedy it will be interesting to see if the breeder is kept secret. Biden got a GSD puppy recently and has come under quite a bit of fire since he got it from a supposed "puppy mill" in Pennsylvania. I guess he doesn't watch Oprah.

I think Bobama lol is adorable.
