My Greta, Pit mix
Obama told Barbara Walters that he doesn’t want a yappy girlie dog. The family is looking for a big rambunctious rescue. What better than a Pit or Pit Mix?
I’m not sure about the allergy thing. There are theories (or facts?) that it’s the pet dander and not the fur that people are allergic to. If that’s the case, then does that mean allergies are caused by specific animals and not breeds? Pitbulls are not listed as a hypoallergenic dog breed, but then I’m suspicious that term was something fabricated by breeders.
People have misconceptions about Pitbulls. Please, you’re insulting my children! These dogs are pussycats! No, they’re even scared of pussycats! It’s the people who train and mistreat them who are vicious, not the breed. Sure, there are some bad apples as with all breeds, but ANY dog the Obamas choose would have to be thoroughly tested so they wouldn’t be nipping at reporters like that Barney.
Pits are 100% fun, full of energy and total love monsters. Too many of them end up on the streets or being destroyed in shelters every day. The uninformed public needs to overcome their fear and give these dogs a chance. And who better to promote this breed than the first family?
Besides, they can name her “Sarah”.

Yeah, take that, Sarah P., a real pit bull in the white house and you, the fake pit bull, back in Alaska with yr tail between yr legs.
Yay! I agree — pit mixes are the best! My partner and I just adopted pit mix, Camille, from Brooklyn’s Animal Care and Control last week as a companion for us and our Cinder, pit mix adopted from BARC shelter in Williamsburg. These dogs are full of love and humor. They are the ultimate rescue and salvage!
Wow, Daphne, your dogs are beautiful!
HA! Sarah.
Our Maggie is a half pit shelter dog and she’s the most docile dog in the universe. I did, however, sneeze for weeks on end when we first brought her home (I took one for the team. If you’re willing to rough it out your body kind of adjusts).
