Obama: Getting dog isn't easy

2008-11-08 08:35

Chicago - President-elect Barack Obama says getting a dog for his daughters when the family moves into the White House in January is "a major issue."

Obama told reporters on Friday that his mention on election night of getting a puppy for Sasha and Malia had generated huge interest.

He said, "We have two criteria that have to be reconciled. One is that Malia is allergic so it has to be hypoallergenic."

Obama also said there were a number of breeds that were hypoallergenic, but that the family's preference is to adopt a dog from a shelter.

Obama added: "But obviously, a lot of shelter dogs are mutts like me. So whether we're going to be able to balance those two things, I think, is a pressing issue on the Obama household."
