The Labradoodle It’s clear that the scamp is a Poodle By its frolicsome dabble and doodle But add a big part Of the Labrador’s heart And you’ve got the whole kit and caboodle The Labrador Retriever (Lab) The Lab a friend gave to his daughter Had a chronic aversion to water He’d cling to the shore Like a rug to the floor To avoid making waves like he oughter The Lagotto Romagnolo It caused quite a local kerfuffle When he called a potato a truffle* By the time it was done A committee of one Went and cancelled his license to snuffle (*known for their skill at finding truffles) The Leonberger There are dogs that are bigger than these Like some Mastiffs and Great Pyrenees But few are more stately Or admired more greatly For their grace and perpetual ease The Lhasa Apso Just repeat: Lhasa apso not ipso That’s a facto: I’m sharing this tip so You don’t make a flub With the whole Lhasa Club While they contemplate your membership so The Maltese I once knew a Maltese named Tawny Who was quick and ill-tempered and scrawny While protecting a crumb Nearly took off my thumb Now he sleeps with the fish in the Suwannee The Mastiff The Mastiff’s a glorious sight With a name that exemplifies might Now imagine this house The size of a mouse A “toy mastiff” just doesn’t sound right The Mutt A mutt may show up with a rat Do some terrible things to your hat But he’s happy for sure Just to roll in manure And so grateful that he’s not a cat The Newfoundland (Newfie) One day on the nearby horizon He encountered an ornery bison* And though it was large The Newfie took charge Mattered not what the difference in size in The Norwegian Elkhound Look honey, look what I found! It’s an orphaned Norwegian elkhound! He’ll be easy to raise With some love and some praise And a pasture that serves as a pound
