Is a Peruvian Hairless the right dog for the White House?

When Barack Obama made is speech on election night he said that he would be getting a new dog for his daughters when they move into the White House next January.

In an article that I found on Google today it was reported that the Friends of Peruvian Hairless Dogs Association in Peru have offered to give Obama’s family a male four month old pedigree puppy. The Peruvian Hairless dog would be suitable for them as it won’t provoke his daughters allergies.

Wikipedia describes the Peruvian Hairless Dogs temperament as:

“Peruvian Hairless dogs are affectionate with family but wary of strangers. They are typically lively, alert and friendly with other dogs but can be protective as well. These dogs do not like to be alone, but when trained, can do well. These dogs are intolerant of extreme temperatures and are agile and fast. They generally require an owner that understands dog language and are not recommended for beginners.”

If you were to recommend a dog for Barack Obama and his family - which dog breed would you choose for them and why?

Owning a pet business does not guarantee you success, but it is generally not difficult to set up your own pet business adn many who own pet businesses love the hard working lifestyle and the closeness to pets. You will have to compete with those who may be better trained, may have lower cost structures and those who “pretend” to have your skills and experience when they do not. (eg not all those who advertise themselves as groomers are actually Groomers).

There are also key skills that all dog industry professionals should possess. Here are some of the most critical skills and abilities for those hoping to work with dogs professionally: Basic Dog Handling and Training Skills, ability to recognize behavioral signals.

Animals can be somewhat unpredictable when they are under stress or in an unfamiliar environment, like when they visit the veterinary office or the grooming salon, so it is important to be attentive and stay aware of the animal you are handling at all times.
