(CNN) – President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden have added to their pet family, the first lady’s spokesperson tells CNN.
A new puppy was spotted Monday playing on the South Lawn of the White House. According to two sources familiar with the new pet, the dog looks to be a German Shepherd or similar breed.
The puppy is named “Commander” and was a gift to the President from his family, a source familiar tells CNN.
Michael LaRosa, Jill Biden’s press secretary, confirmed the news of a new family puppy. “Yes. There is (a puppy),” LaRosa said.

In April, the White House announced Major would be going to Wilmington for extensive training to help him adjust to life in the White House. Sightings of Major at the White House have been slim since then, however, a dog fence was erected around the Jacqueline Kennedy Garden on the Southeast side of the White House.

Great looking pup. I hope Commander and the Bidens will be very happy.
Sad though that Major has been banished from the WH to live in Delaware with family friends. I guess the poor pup just can’t take the busy, noisy atmosphere in the White House.
