First Puppy

According to the BBC, while President-elect Barack Obama is busy choosing his White House staff, the rest of his family is choosing the puppy that he promised his daughters in his election-night speech:

"Because daughter Malia has allergies, the Obamas may be considering a 'hypoallergenic' breed that sheds less hair. Options could include a labradoodle - a cross between a Labrador and a poodle - a schnoodle (schnauzer and poodle), or a cockapoo (cocker spaniel and poodle). Malia, however, is rumoured to favour a goldendoodle - a poodle crossed with a golden retriever."

Although I think the goldendoodle should have been called the poo retriever, I have a few suggestions of my own for the First Puppy:
  1. A German sausage (a cross between an Alsatian - aka German shepherd - and a dachshund - aka sausage dog)
  2. A spagbol (a cross between a spaniel and a border collie)
  3. A sheep poo (a cross between a poodle and a sheepdog).

Can anyone think of any other combinations the Obamas might choose?
