Dogs By Design

Dog owning was once so simple - Spaniel, Collie, Dalmatian.

Labrador,  Jack Russell,  Greyhound or Alsatian.

But now with canine influencers one breed will never do,

You’ve now got to  have a cocktail, all the worst bits of a few.

Jackapoodle - labradoodle- whole kit and flaming caboodle.

Names that really defy convention. Triple word score for invention.

Pinnacles of design perfection.  Ever more curious canine confections.

So much so it’s hard to  believe the truth, a common ancestor was the wolf?!

Pittery pattery, yippity yappity. One thing in common they all look crapperty.

And soon these  dogs wanted with such passion, like all fads quickly out of fashion.

Who ends up  with these designer breeds? Thats right it’s blokes left holding the  leads.

And in  any park, i’m sure you’ve seen em, A group of men looking sheepish. Not a decent dog between them!

A bricklayer hiding in the trees walking his daughter’s  Bichon Frise,

Or a bloke with a Shih Tzu Poo -so aptly named-  pretending he don’t feel ashamed.

Some other mug now whiles away the hours, walking his wife’s once loved chihuahuas.

All because someone couldn’t resist-a dog designed by a fashionista.

I think there’s need for regulation cos things are clearly out of hand 

A dog that would lose a scrap with a guinea pig should immediately be banned.

And the person in any household who insists on a designer breed,

Is compelled by legal agreement to be the one who holds the lead!
