Good guess, Rob, but it was not the Nixon's.

I am sorry, Joe and Anita, but neither guess is correct.

Hint #1: The pet is buried in a dog cemetery in Maryland.

The photo doesn't look to be from the 19th. century, so I'll guess Teddy Roosevelt.

Is it Liberty, President & Mrs. Gerald Ford's dog?

No one has it yet.

Hint #2: Once there was a breakfast scheduled for 18 people at the White House. This pooch wrecked it by licking the food off the plates right before the attendees arrived to eat.

I am taking a wild guess at the Coolidges since I read once that they had a bunch of dogs.

Well, don't look at me, I wasn't even there!

Fido

So when is this "Old Enough To Know Better" supposed to kick in?

The Eisenhowers had a dog that was finally banned from the White House and sent to their Gettysburg farm. The dog in this photo and the clue you gave about ruining a reception might be their dog? Was it buried at Camp David in Maryland?

Nope, not the Eisenhowers' dog.

Hint #3: The dog came from Warm Springs, Georgia.

Hint #3.5: The poor dog had a tragic fate. He ran into the White House fence, and sadly broke his neck and passed away.

Hint #3.75: The dog's name was Winks.

FDR's dog? I think FDR died in Warm Springs, didn't he?

P.S. - I like the metric hint system.
