Pharaoh Hound - Obama's ideal first dog/puppy
The Pharoah Hound (Tal-Fenek) is the ideal dog for Obama. According to Wikipedia: The Pharaoh Hound is an intelligent, trainable, playful and active breed. It is sociable with other dogs and with people. The Pharaoh Hound is independent-minded, highly intelligent, and occasionally stubborn, yet very trainable when positive methods are used. Pharaohs were bred to hunt and think for themselves, and they have retained this trait for thousands of years. They tire/bore easily with repetitive commands, therefore it is the trainer's job to ensure that their training remains interesting and positive in nature. They are a very active breed and need more than just a daily walk; a run every day is required. Though they are active, they should not be hyperactive.
