He's a Portuguese Water Dog by breed. His name has been assigned as "Bo", named by the Obama daughters.
What about portuguese water dogs? Their breed title is often shortened to "Portie". It is actually a breed of hunting dogs, a type of water spaniel. Their thick hair is more like that of a poodle although it does not shed much so is somewhat hypoallergenic. This breed of dog is rare when compared to most other breeds.
Normally, their weight as full-grown dogs is no more than sixty pounds. The males often are as much as 23 inches in height. Their appearance is usually black with some white markings. Their brown eyes are alert. Their ears are drooping rather than alert-looking. Some of the dogs have wavy hair while others have tightly curled hair. Often groomers give these dogs a 'lion cut' and do not dock their tails.
These dogs generally tend to want human companionship so are good dogs for lonely people. They are generally friendly if well-trained. Many of these dogs are favorites for handicapped people.
