The White House has been home to dogs for a long time, many of the presidents owned several dogs, for instance George Washington, Rutherford B. Hayes, Theodore Roosevelt, Calvin Coolidge, and John F. Kennedy.
Most of the presidential dogs have sounding dog names; we can have some ideas on how to name your new puppy by learning the names of presidential dogs.
We have collected most of the dogs owned by the US presidents; you can view the whole list with dog names and breeds.
