No Longer a Member | [News] Homegrown, White House-Caliber Pups Make TV Debut! Ahead of the curve as usual, we first discovered breeder Denise Ronayne’s well-mannered Yorkshire terrier pups almost two years ago. This morning, just when we thought that we (and the rest of America) had reached cute puppy overload, we got word from Ronayne that the she and her Yorkies will make their national television debut this weekend when they star on Animal Planet show Dogs 101 (Saturday 11/15 at 8 p.m. and Sunday 11/16 at 7 p.m.). But Ronayne’s hopes for her cuddly canines stretch beyond television stardom: She’d like for one of her Yorkies to be the new First Dog. “The Animal Planet producer and I are very hopeful that Obama’s family will watch the show because we believe one of our dogs would be a perfect fit,” she says. “Someone like Obama could get any show dog out there, but I don’t think that’s who he is. And I’ve heard that one of his daughters is allergic, which makes Yorkshire terriers ideal because they have hair, not fur.” Continues the enthusiastic Ronayne, “What an honor it would be for us at Country Home Yorkies—and even for the state of Massachusetts—to give the first family a Yorkshire terrier!” Bostonista - Boston Magazine |

| Are yorkies ok for people with allegies to dogs? In a way i hope a yorkie isnt the dog of choice for the Obama family cuz it will cause too many people to get a yorkie JUST for that reason and then the shelters will fill with yorkies |

| I'm hoping that our First Family sticks with their original plan and adopts from a shelter or rescue. There are many pure breds / hyperallergenic dogs for adoption. I was very pleased to see President Elect Obaman supporting rescuing rather then buying. I also want to add that some called it a good political move but President Obama has been an advocate for adoption for some time - even before running for president. Elaine |

You can call (212) 548-5555 Which is the phone number for the Animal Planet corporate office and tell them what you are calling for and they will put you on the voicemail for urgent viewer relations. This might be a quicker way to let our voices be heard! | |
