About our breed

copyright 1997 by Elaine Chapman Stevens


We watch our Blue Bear and his younger sister Syd
As they romp and play together, acting just like little kids.
But when we say, "The cows are out!" all foolishness stops,
They become very serious and begin to lick their chops.
Bear goes out around them – what an outrun – half a mile!
Sister Syd backs him up with a rather impish smile.
They gather all the stragglers up, then turn the herd toward home
"You’re not buffalo!" Bear tells them, "and you’re not supposed to roam!"
The stock begins to move with a nip to hoofed heels,
Syd’s eyes are twinkling, Bear’s stare is hard as steel.
Syd works like a whirlwind, Bear takes his time –
The cows walk slow and easy, every one in line.
Every now and then Syd just has to have some fun
She laughs and tries to pick a fight, just to see cows run.
But Bear’s right there to stop them, to turn and head them off
And Syd dances to the far side; she knows she won’t be caught!!
Now they’ve settled down to business, which is, "Bring them over here."
Bear works the outside flank, Syd brings up the rear.
The cows are in the catch pen now, waiting for their fate –
"Is the butcher here today?" they ask, "Am I next on the plate?"
"Relax," we say, "We’re here to pick the very best of you
To use to show just what all our good cowdogs can do."
"Oh no," they cry, "You can’t do that – death would be a better fate!
Not Bear and Syd – we’d rather be upon your dinner plate!"
And so, the teasing over, we open up the gate,
And tell Bear and Syd, "Hold them up – have patience! Make them wait!"
Escapees must remember what always waits in store –
If they don’t stay inside the fence, heels and noses will be sore.
Then when the day is over and our friends lay at our feet,
Bear watching tv, Syd broadside, fast asleep,
We are thankful that we have them – it was destiny, we know
And we pray that we do justice to the Aussies we love so.
