Presidential Dogs exhibit

The AKC Museum of the dog is back open with a new exhibition that looks back on the different breeds of dogs that have lived at the White House. It will explore the history of presidential pets, highlight specific dogs that were owned by U.S. presidents, and
examine the influence these breeds had on the dog world as well as the American public at
large. Visitors will learn about George Washington’s foxhounds, Bo and Sunny, the Portuguese Water Dogs owned by the Obamas and more through artwork from the MoD collection, historic documents from the AKC archives, and photo reproductions. Some breeds highlighted in the upcoming exhibition will include Airedale Terriers, Beagles, Cocker Spaniels, Collies, English Springer Spaniels, Foxhounds, Golden Retrievers, Newfoundlands, Portuguese Water Dogs, Scottish Terriers and Welsh Terriers.
