As he romped across the White House lawn with various Obamas in tow, first dog Bo, a Portuguese water dog, instantly turned his little-known breed into a household acronym.
''PWDs,'' which can reach 60 pounds, are rare in the United States; the American Kennel Club registered 1,500 last year, compared to 100,000 Labrador retrievers, the nation's most popular dog.
They're especially unusual in South Florida, probably because ''they're black and it's hot,'' said Stu Freeman, Connecticut-based president of the Portuguese Water Dog Club of America. He estimated only 100 PWDs are owned throughout Florida.
