Rat Terrier (Barn Hunt)
If you need a little pest control
If you want your world to rock and roll -
If you want a terrier with soul -
This is what it looks like……
You called on me because I am so smart
I can give your life that kick start
I am the ratter who’s got the heart
This is what it looks like………
I’m solid
I’m ready
I’m feisty
I rock steady
At the barn hunt
Get on your funk
At the barn hunt
Don’t mess with the punk
I work in cities and I work on farms,
But I am happiest in someone’s arms
If you want your life full of charms
This is what it looks like……..
Teddy Roosevelt he was a fan
I was his dog and he was my man
I’m proud to be American
This is what it looks like…..
chorus
I can turn it on, I can turn it off
I can be tough or I can be soft
All you vermin, take your best shot
One wrong move - you’re caught
chorus
I got courage and I got soul
I’m the Decker with rock ’n roll
I’ll keep your world under control -
This is what it looks like……..
chorus
Rat Busters!

(Rhodesian Ridgeback) Bush Dogs of Africa
We are the dogs of South Africa, we are the Ridgebacks
We traveled the land with the Hottentots hunting lion cats
From the Dane and the Mastiff with speed and sight of hound
Came the hunter of the wild, we bring them down, bring them down.
We are the bush dogs of Africa,
We are the chosen ones
Bring down the beast, bring down the cat
We are Rhodesian Ridgeback
We are the dogs of South Africa born unto this land
Faithful and kind, gentle of mind, guardian of his man
Dancing by the fire light, back to back, spinning round
Watching over the longest night, we bring it down, bring it down
We are the bush dogs of Africa,
We are the chosen ones
Bring down the beast, bring down the cat,
We are the Rhodesian Ridgeback
Look in the eyes of courage and strength - these are the eyes of Rhodesia,
Look in the heart and you will find the deepest soul of Africa
Yes we are the bush dogs, the lion dogs,
We are the chosen ones
Bring down the beast, bring down the cat,
We are Rhodesian Ridgeback

You've Got to Get a Rott
You don't have to sit and worry,
You don't have to be alone.
Everybody needs some security -
I'll make you feel safe at home.
Cause all you have to do is call,
I'll come running and give you my all, you know
You've got to get a Rott,
I'm telling you this Rottweiller's hot.
If you need a friend and companion
I'm someone you can lean on.
If you need to keep things in line,
You can count on my every time,
Cause all you have to do is call my name,
I'll come running to you again and again, you know
You've tot to get a Rott,
I'm telling you this Rottweiller's hot.
When someone calls, "Rescue me,"
I want to be the one they need.
When someone needs a friend to trust,
You know I leave the others standing in the dust -
You don't have to fear the dark
Cause you know trouble will flee when I bark.
And when you come home I'll be there,
I wanna tell the whole world I care.
All you have to do is call my name,
I'll come running to you again and again -
You've got to get a Rott,
I'm telling you this Rottweiller's hot.

(Saluki) Across The Deserts of Time
Across the desert sand
He runs with horse and man
Caught inside the spell
The chase of the gazelle
Run so fast, run so free,
Saluki.
Across Arabia
And into Syria
With falcon by your side
You gaze with eagle eye
Run so fast, run so free
Saluki.
I wonder where you go inside your dreams
Oh, the hunter is in your soul, the wind is beneath your feet -
Through the pages of history
Now you lie beside me
You chose me for your own,
Through time our love has grown
Run so fast, run so free
Saluki.
I wonder where you go inside your dreams
Oh, the hunter is in your soul, the wind is beneath your feet -
Across the deserts of time
From the tombs of the royal bloodlines
Caught inside the spell
The chase of the gazelle
Run so fast, run so free
Saluki.

Saint Bernard
Brought from the Alpine mountain range as a pup so young, so free
I mastered well to search and to save cause it's born inside of me
I'm a Saint Bernard born to rescue you
Against all odds I will see you through
Be you friend or foe, through ice or snow, I know what I must do
Cause I'm a Saint Bernard, I will rescue you -
Over mountain, high, valley deep, searchin' for a soul in need
I will shelter you, stay by your side - you're not alone with me
I'm a Saint Bernard, born to rescue you
Against all odds I will see you through
Be you friend or foe, through ice or snow, I know what I must do
Cause I'm a Saint Bernard, I will rescue you -
Well now I'm as Swiss as a yodeling miss, courageous and defiant
A droolin' hunk, I live the life of a monk, a canine gentle giant -
I'm a Saint Bernard, born to rescue you
Against all odds I will see you through
Be you friend or foe, through ice or snow
I know what I must do -
Cause I'm a Saint Bernard, I will rescue you -

(Scottish Deerhound) My Childhood Friends
Morning breaks on the Highlands of Scotland
Sun rises over the valleys of home
I'll always remember the sight of the Deerhounds
Most perfect creature the heavens have known
I'll remember their magic and charm
If you looked in their eyes well you gazed in their hearts
A truer love I have never found
Than my childhood friends, the Scottish Deerhounds
Deep in the mist of the forest they roamed
Chasing the wind 'til it blew them back home
I'll remember their courage and speed
That summer I learned what a friend could be
And I'll remember them standing so tall
If you looked in their eyes, well you gazed in their soul
A truer love I have never found
Than my childhood friends, the Scottish Deerhounds

(Samoyed) White On White
White on white into the night, Samoyed lead them on
Dog and man in a cold land, Samoyed, lead them on
With a heart as pure as snow, gypsy blood in your soul
White on white into the night, Samoyed lead them on.
Cruel winds will never harm him, curls up to keep you warm
If you're lost in the night he will be your guiding light, leads you safely through the storm
Across the frozen land he runs, the long and lonely road,
White on white, into the night Samoyed lead them home
Soul of a gypsy dog -
Destiny brought him to me far from the north country
Bleach white hair, beauty beyond compare, Samoyed stay with me
When I need him, he'll be there, I know I'll never walk alone
White on white into the night, Samoyed lead me home
Soul of a gypsy dog
White on white

(Scottish Terrier) That's My Dog
Scotty, my little Aberdeen
You are the world to me
How I love my Scotty
I love a Terrier, the more the merrier
Such a fine silhouette - me and my pet Scottish Terrier
That's my dog, aint he sweet
That's my dog, the dog of my dreams
Strong and bold ,that's the wee lad of old
Weathering any storm, a heart true and warm
That's my Terrier
Oh that's my dog, aint he sweet
That's my dog, the dog of my dreams
Some people need a friend, a face to greet when they come in
These dogs are filled with true emotions, give you only deep devotion -
Scotty, you mean a lot to me
Never a heart so deep, my Aberdeen
I love my Scotty
That's my dog, aint he sweet
That's my dog, the dog of my dreams

Shar Pei
All aboard the Orient Express
The Shar Pei is heading west.
They say every dog has purpose, a voice to follow within
My heart's worn on the surface somewhere beneath my skin
Remember I'm from China and I led a warrior's life
But I'm runnin' for the border cause I really don't want to fight -
Chorus
Hey I've lived the hard life when taxes got too steep
They chased me through the city with a hunger for my meat!
Well they almost killed my spirit, almost uncurled my tail
But tonight I met a stranger and we're riding the midnight rail -
Chorus
I could sing you the blues, I've got centuries to choose
But I've run out of places to hide from a hungry man's eye -
All aboard the Orient Express
The Shar Pei is heading west.
They say every dog has standards, well I stand alone
I'm wrinkled on the outside, Shar Pei to the bone
I will be your best companion, I will honor and obey
Just get me to the station cause I've got my skin to save
Chorus

Shetland Sheepdog
Come with me and we will roam
Back to the days of so long ago.
Across the seas to the hills of Shetland,
Come with me to this magic island.
Where all the creatures grow so small,
A child would even feel so tall,
From this land and the hands of gods
Come the Shetland Sheepdogs.
Now from this island they did sail
Through the mainland and through the dales.
Their beauty left the people breathless
Their souls they say were heaven blessed.
A true companion, proud and smart
A lot of love from an honest heart
From this land and the hands of gods
Come the Shetland Sheepdogs.
Close your eyes, dream awhile
In the land of the magic isle
With your Sheltie by your side -
Dream on
Now in the morning he'll be there
Watching you with love and care
Close your eyes, go to sleep
Dream in the land of the Shelties
Where all the creatures grow so small
A child would even seem so tall
From this land and the hands of gods
Come the Shetland Sheepdogs.

Rev me up, I'm ready,
Wake the pups, now move out steady
Take it easy, we've got the night
Take your time and do it right
We've got the power, we don't take a chance
Never say never, we can go the distance
I'm a Husky dog, king of the snow

In Siberia we are the best
More determined than all of the rest

Dancing With the Wind (The Sighthound Song)
I watch them dancing with the wind
I watch the sighthounds take to flight
Cut across the sands of time
Through a thousand endless nights
When the falcon takes to wing
And sweeps above the ground
I watch them dancing with the wind
Hear the song of the hounds
Through the eyes of the hunter
With the wind at their feet
Through the heart of the runner
They are born to the breed, they are born to the breed ……….
I watch them dancing with the wind
Seven riders by their side
All the mysteries they have seen
Seven wonders in their eyes
Across the wide horizon
Th
ey fly above the ground
I watch them dancing with the wind
Hear the sound of the hounds
They run all day
They run all night
They chase the wind in a thousand flights

(Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier) Sweetheart Of The Terriers I
I've got a place in my heart for my faithful friend
I don't have to explain myself, she loves me for what I am.
She's a natural dog, from her shaggy head to her shaggy paw
Soft coated and wheaten hair,
The sweetheart of the Terriers,
But most of all, she's a natural dog.
I've read the tales of Ireland and the cattle drivin' dog
A hunter or a guardian, pure and true to stock.
Without a sound she's next to you,
Waiting on your every move,
Soft coated and wheaten hair,
The sweetheart of the Terriers,
Most of all, she's a natural dog.
In the longest night she brings the darkness light,
And I can't give enough to repay her sweet love -
In a world that moves too fast, people got so much to prove,
I know a love that lasts and a heart that speaks the truth
She's a natural dog from her shaggy head to her shaggy paws,
Soft coated and wheaten hair,
The sweetheart of the Terriers
Most of all, she's a natural dog.
Soft coated and wheaten hair,
The sweetheart of the Terriers
Most of all, she's a natural dog.

G'day mate can't stop to chat - I'm hot on the trail of a dirty rat
Sniffin' up rodents diggin' up bones, going to the outback goin' back home
Diggin' up bones, put 'em in your sleeve
All the little girls love a little Silky
I'm Sydney Silky, in case you wonder
I come from the land that's way down under -
I love to roam the territories, out in the bush like aborigines
I'm a little swagman, I feel alright, I like my rats with vegemite
Diggin' up bones, put 'em in your sleeve
All the little girls love a little Silky
I'm Sydney Silky, in case you wonder
I come from the land that's way down under -
I'm a terrier through and through
Long and silky, tan and blue
I play my music on the digereedo
I live in the land of the kangaroo
Diggin ' up bones, put 'em in your sleeve
All the little girls love a little Silky
My name is Sydney, I love to dig, I might be small but I always think big
I'll be your mate if you take me home, love you so much never leave you alone,
Diggin' up bones, put 'em in your sleeve
All the little girls love a little Silky

(Springer Spaniel) Bounce
Spring has sprung and my work's begun across the rugged fields
My nose to the wind, the game begins with the hunter at my heels
My job is clear and I have no fear to flush the prey up high
I zig and zag while my tail does flag til the fowl have filled the sky
Bounce, everybody loves their Spaniel
Bounce, pup of eternal spring
Bounce, coming from the land of England
Flies in the air like a dog with wings
I never run when I hear the gun, I stand still and steady
I hold the line, wait for a sign, until my master's ready
The bird is down, I cover the ground with all my strength and speed
There is no doubt my gentle mouth delivers what he needs
Chorus
With feathers on my legs and ears, fringe on my chest, oh my dear
A two-tone model in a classy frame, pickin' up birds, yeah, that's my game
Chorus
Some of my kin have many wins inside the great show rings
The Garden roars, the crowd adores my beauty and the bling
Some belong on the White House lawn greeting heads of state
But everyone knows it's my heart and soul that makes this Springer great -

(Staffordshire Bull Terrier) I'm Not Bad
There's been too much confusion, my face is in the news
Because of some dumb owners we've got the Pit Bull blues
Now please don't think I'm snotty, I'm just trying to explain
I'm a Staffordshire Bull Terrier and I'm proud of my name
You see, I'm not bad - I'll be the best friend that you've ever had
I'm not bad - I'm such a good dog, I'm a good hog -
I'm a long time member of the Kennel Club
But many years ago don't you know, they bet on us in the pubs
And then they made the bull rings and they made us fight and die
And even now some idiots continue to try, but don't you know that I -
I'm not bad, I'll be the best friend that you ever had
I'm not bad, I'm such a good dog, I'm a good hog -
I'm telling you I've got a lot of soul
I know how to let those punches roll
I'm writing you this letter from the children's nursery
Oh the baby is asleep and I guard him while he dreams
I know my people love me cause they raised me to be king
I''m proud to be a Staffordshire and I hope I changed your mind
I'm not bad - I'll be the best friend that you ever had
I'm not bad - I'm such a good dog, I'm a good hog

Swedish Vallhund
A thousand years ago or more I sailed across the sea
From Wales or Sweden no one can agree
Like my friend the Corgi I'm built low to the ground
My short legs are powerful and sound
Over hills and through fields I'm nipping at their heels
I keep the herd in order as I run
I follow their tracks, I bring the lost ones back
You see I am the Swedish Vallhund
I was called the Viking dog a must for every home
Kind of small but fearless to the bone
I kept the farmland safe and enemies at bay
I stood on guard and kept those rats away
Devoted I am, I'll be your best friend
I can make you laugh and have some fun
And now if you lose your way I'll guide you home again
You see I am the Swedish Vallhund
I rise with the sun, I work 'til day is done
You see I am the Swedish Vallhund
There were times that hit us hard our numbers seemed to fade
But Vikings they are bound to rise again
I am the little cattle dog, around the world I'm found,
And you can never keep a good dog down
Oh wherever I go, I give my heart and soul
I will work until the day is done
And I'll stand by your side, look deep in your eyes,
You see we are Swedish Vallhund
Oh and if you lose your way I'll bring you home again
You see I am the Swedish Vallhund

Standard Poodle
Bonjour, mes amies, I come from gay Paree,
Shall I my story tell of the Standard Poodle?
I stand above them all, so beautiful and tall,
When it comes to the facts, I am a class act.
Oh the nights of Paree were made for dogs like me.
Bring me wine and strudel, God bless the French Poodle.
I wear my hair in styles that drive the people wild,
I feel like velvet (crushed), oh look but please don't touch.
With pom pom on my tail I'm so continental,
I love to strut my stuff, I can never get enough.
Oh the nights of Paree were made for dogs like me.
Bring me wine and strudel, God bless the French Poodle.
How high can you bounce, I'm higher ounce for ounce.
And when it comes to water, I'm swift as the otter.
Perhaps I am a snob but I'm such a gorgeous dog.
Je suis le plus belle, the Standard Poodle.
Oh the nights of Paree were made for dogs like me.

Welcome my friends to the plains of Hungary
Over terrain where the falcon flies free
I am the Vizsla born of this land
Proud of my history, I'm proud of who I am
I worked with my people in fields of grain
I flushed out the partridge and birds of game
I am a hunter with power and drive
Swift as the wind, still as the night
I am the Vizsla, life is my quest
I'll sing you tales of Budapest
I am the Vizsla all dressed in gold
I give to you my heart to hold
Out of the great war we fled as refugees
Eva and Zsa Zsa and Vizslas like me
Capturing hearts across the western world
We sang and we danced and we spun and we twirled
I am the Vizsla, life is my quest
I'll sing you tales of Budapest
I am the Vizsla all dressed in gold
I give to you my heart to hold
Now in the quiet of home I look back
Trials I have won and trails I have tracked
I am the pointer born to retrieve
Faithful and kind the pride of Hungary
I am the Vizsla, life is my quest

Courageous and aligned when flushing
Must be clever and athletic

(Wolf) We've Got To Let Them Go
They walk in the night in the bitter white of winter's storm
They follow their souls through the starlight to lead them home
Deep in the northland the chilly winds do blow
And the wolves are headed home -
They follow the moon, they follow the sun
They follow the call of the wild back home
As fast as the pack can run man keeps comin' on
And the wolves are headed home, we've got to let them go
They have gone so far through the wild nights and longest days
Nowhere to hide in a land where they rule so brave
As far as the eye can see the damage has been done
But the wolves are headed home, -
They follow the moon, they follow the sun
They follow the call of the wild back home
As fast as the pack can run man keeps comin' on
But the wolves are headed home, we've got to let go -
