I really want a doggy
One with a daft name
Then I can make folk laugh a lot
Me of silly doggy fame

Something with a malti
Or something with a poo
Doesn't matter what it is
It must be something new

I want it to have a lot of hair
But it really must not shed
And when I bring my puppy home
It must be quiet in its bed

And when I rise and go to work
It must stay in its crate
And not wee or make a noise
Or scrabble at the gate

I have no time for training
Cos puppies know the score
If they need to have a wee
They should open up the door

I'm happy paying money
To buy that special bond
I'll hand over five hundred pounds
And ignore that I've been conned

I'll take it down the high street
And tell everyone I know
This is a very special breed
This gorgeous Cocker Chow

I have no time for health tests
I'm not prepared to wait
Put those dogs together
And leave it up to fate

Oh look its all romantic
They're mating, what good luck
Ha ha its all quite funny
But why have they got stuck? 

A Yorkie and a poodle
There's a breed that's new
A Great Dane and a Staffie
A Bulldog and a Shitzu

I wish I could buy at Sainsburys
Much easier in that manner
I could pop it in my shopping bag
Once its through the scanner

So here I am a posting
To find the perfect mate
To encourage casual breeding
Because I simply couldn't wait

And when it all goes pearshaped
And my pup is just the same
And sheds its hair and bites stuff
Just like those of sensible name

I'll take it to the shelter
Hundreds of pounds I've lost
And the sign upon its kennel door
"Dog Needs Home. Breed: Cross"

That was brilliant Chloe. So funny and yet so sad because this is exactly what is happening. Very poignant.

Well done Chloe...thats brill and says it all!!
Archer

Very true :( unfortantly what happends :(

Just about sums it up.lol

Cloeh can I crosspost it???  Waht is your proper name to put on the bottom???

Yup - Carla Hodgkins :) Cross post away :)

LOL :D Brilliant

Nice one Chloe :P

What da ya mean "what's her proper name?"   Is your's not Brainless?  :D  Do you mean people are using secret codes   Next you'll be telling me there's not really a Jeangenie :rolleyes:   It's a dodgy place this ...

Teri ;)

tee hee Teri.. I have never got my head round calling someone Brainless without it causing offense :-)) but I have always thought it was a good , humourous username

Ah if you ever meet me in the flesh especially at a dog show the name will seem most apt :D :D

Brillian Chloe :D  Admin should permanently put it at the top of the "breeding" and "visitors questions" boards,a must read for any newcomer!

I was actually having a look out for you at Crufts as a few people pasted me with your breed , but I was thinking how do you say to someone..

""" Errr Excuse me are you Brainless??""""  black eye maybe ;-)

See you did well though. Congrats.

Pam

:D @ Pam :D

brill poem hits the nail on the head the current fad for designer dogs is silly :)

Excellent, Chloe :)

Daisy

thanks :)

I posted your poem on a u.s dogsite i belong to,i just thought it was that great,everyone should be able to read it :)

But i forgot that designer dogs and purposely bred crosses are the *in* thing over there,especially dogs ending with poo,i think i put a couple noses out of joint,only got one reply :rolleyes: Ah well,i think your poem hits the nail on the head,have a look at all the designer dogs sitting on death row in the u.s,it truly is a sad state of affairs :(

Chloe this is fab .Please may i use this with of course your name at the bottom as author for my Dog-Club Newsletter.

No problem :)

Chloe this is your claim to fame I think ;-)

Enjoy your 15 minutes of fame Chloe - you must have been inspired for that one - brilliant !
