I think he should get whatever dog makes his children happy.
As much as it makes me cringe, I have a cousin who is getting ready to home an Australian Labradoodle. I gave my .02 about designer breeds and suggested he look at the Portuguese Water Dog as an alternative. An IDEAL labradoodle has basically the same specifications as a pure bred Portuguese Water Dog.
But his kids want a doodle and he doesn't want to break their hearts.
So while I understand the reason for the petition, I can't help but feel people are missing the point. He wants to get a dog for his kids. So people pressuring him to a rescue is not really fair. Let him make his own choice without pressure. A dog is a very personal thing and should not be decided by committee.
just my .02
