The White Cavalier

By: Wex Jones

There’s a snow-white dog with a coal black eye,
Whose temper is true as his courage is high,
He’s the last in a scrimmage and the last one that stops
For when he does fight he fights till he drops.
He know nothing of meanness and nothing of fear,
For a gentleman’s heart has the White Cavalier.
He stands like boxer: firm, active, and keen,
With his punishing jaw, long, powerful, and clean.
He’s up on his toes, all ready to go,
Like the flash of a gun, to meet playmate and foe.
He’s as strong as a Bulldog, as fast as a deer,
There’s no dog with the dash of the White Cavalier.
His coat and his character both are snow-white,
His look is determined, his manner is bright.
He stands at attention, all muscle and bone,
A knight fully armed for holding his own.
As mild as a maiden, as proud as a peer;
A prince among dogs is the White Cavalier.
