As the Obamas find themselves only hours away from taking up residence in the White House, they’ve also come one step closer to picking their presidential pooch.

The family is reportedly deciding between a labradoodle and a Portuguese water dog. Both breeds are allergy-friendly, so Malia Obama won’t have to worry about being allergic.

Labradoodles are often used as guide dogs and are touted for their temperament and patience.

Portuguese water dog, which can often be found working on fishing boats, are also known for their reliability.

Vice President-elect Joe Biden already has a labradoodle named Brother.
