The name of the First Family's dog is "Bo." Malia and Sasha picked the dog's name. He is a Portuguese Water Dog from the same breeders of the Portuguese Water Dogs that belonged to the late Senator Ted Kennedy. Senator Kennedy recommended the breed when he found that the President was looking for a dog breed that is usually not a problem for those with dog allergies. The Obamas added Bo to the family when he was just a puppy and he has grown into a beautiful specimen of the breed. On August 19th, 2013, the Obama's added a second Portuguese Water Dog to the family. Her name is Sunny. She is a year old.

Some dog breeds that are considered hypoallergenic, meaning they are less likely to trigger allergies in people, include Poodles, Bichon Frises, Maltese, Schnauzers, and Portuguese Water Dogs. However, no dog breed is completely non-allergenic.
The Obamas have one dog with them at the White House, a neutered male Portuguese Water Dog named Bo. The Obamas chose Portuguese Water Dogs in part because they are hypoallergenic, meaning they are unlikely to trigger allergic reactions in Malia, one of President Obama's daughters who is allergic to dogs. Bo was gifted to the Obamas by the now late Senator Ted Kennedy. Additionally, the United States Secret Service (which is entrusted, among other duties, with personally protecting the President and are near him at all times wherever he is, whether at the White House or elsewhere in the world) uses Belgian Malinois dogs (otherwise known as Belgian Shepherds) exclusively for their work.
