COLGATE, Wis. (AP) -- A Wisconsin breeder says she has just the dog for President-elect Barack Obama and his two daughters.
Obama promised his daughters a new puppy during his election night speech in Chicago. He has since said the family would like to adopt a dog from a shelter, but that's complicated because his 10-year-old daughter Malia has allergies.
Pat Banachowicz of Colgate breeds Australian Labradoodles and has written a letter to future first lady Michelle Obama, offering one of her puppies.
Banachowicz says they are great family dogs because they have Labradors' personality, don't shed and are hypoallergenic. She says few hypoallergenic dogs end up in shelters.
Banachowicz says Australian Labradoodles usually cost $2,500 but she probably wouldn't charge the presidential family.
