So you want a Rough Collie puppy!!!!!!!


will you want it all its life
Will it be all-important, like family and wife?


Will you handle it with gentleness and pat it when it's good


And see its water's always fresh and that it's got good food


Will you train it kindly and brush it every day


And provide it with a clean dry bed where it can go and lay


Will you teach the children that they too must be kind?


And if he takes their toys, they really must not mind


Will you train it on a lead, to sit and walk to heel?


Not drag it on a choke chain with all the pain to feel.


Will you teach obedience, to come when its afar


To lay and stay if needed and be good when in the car.


And when it's learnt these lessons and loves you all so true


Will you thank the day this Collie came to live with you.


And when it's old and feeble and life has passed it by


Your family broken hearted and not an eye is dry.


Will you still be happy, that you bought that hairy puppy ?


And will you get another, and start it all again?


If you can answer, YES my friend, to all that I have said


Then you deserve a Rough Collie, the best one ever bred.


But if you have read my questions and cannot answer true,


Please don't have a Rough puppy, it's not fair to him or you.
