On January 20th, Barack Obama will be our new president. And with the new president will come a new First Family and a new First Dog! Obama has called the selection of the world's most powerful dog "a major issue" and we couldn't agree more.

So what breed of dog will the Obama family choose? While the decision is still up in the air, some sources believe that Malia and Sasha want a West Highland White Terrier, or a Westie for short. These little dogs are friendly, spunky, easy to train, and very self-assured. They may be small, but when Westies look in the mirror they see the king of dogs looking back. Michelle Obama has said the girls want to name their pup Snowball, but let's see what else we can come up with!

Male:

Goliath
Winston
Chuck Norris
Peyton
Zeus
Tyson
Grizzly Bear - Grizz for short
Biggie
Harley

Female:

Phoebe
Athena
Bella
Hillary
Princess
Mona
Oprah
Jewel

housetraining
I've had my 6 month old westie puppy for three months now. I have followed all the house training rules to a T, but she still is not housebroken. since day one she has always slept in her crate at night and does so well. she always lets me know when she needs out to go potty. she has her own enclosed area on the porch where she has her own dog house, food,water, toys, potty pad and knows just where to go potty. However, if I let her in the house for even a minute, just so I can play or cuddle with her, she will stop to pee or poop, she doesn't care, though she knows it makes me ill. I have tried the deterrent sprays, and they don't work! I think she should be potty trained by now! Is there such a thing as a dog not being able to be housetrained? I don't want an outside dog, I love her and want so much to be able to play with her. I need HELP!
