One of the “most important issues” that President-elect Obama spoke about in today’s news conference was what kind of dog his family plans to get!

He said there are two major factors, the first being that daughter Malia is allergic and they’d need a so-called “hypoallergenic” dog, and the second being that they’d like to get a shelter dog. However, the two don’t usually mesh well together (you can’t usually get too specific about what dog you’d like from a shelter) so they’re still weighing options.

One of the most popular hypoallergenic dogs being talked about is a poodle, which don’t shed as much and which the family has apparently expressed interest in in the past.

What do you think? What kind of dog would the new first family get?
