Earlier this month, First lady Jill Biden during an appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show had said that she had been "obsessed" with settling the dogs, for both the dogs belong to discreet age groups. Three-year-old Major was adopted by the family in November 2018 from the Delaware Humane Association. While the thirteen-year-old Champ was adopted in 2008, shortly after Biden was elected vice president.
