THOUGHTS ON THE BELGIAN SHEPHERD
The Creator has made us a gift
Of the Sky, the Earth and the Mountain,
And of the Sea………and the Dog.
From the Sky, man receives warmth and light.
And through these, life itself.
From the earth and the mountain
He extracts Gold and Diamonds.
While from the Sea comes the beautiful Pearl.
And what of the Dog?
Among dogs the Belgian Shepherd is, in essence, a work of art.
In him God has written a poem
And composed a symphony of
In a word he has created a Jewel in his Casket.of colours and characters.
Our Belgian Shepherd is truly the Prince of Dogs.
Written by DF Irmont for the Royal Groenendael Club Magazine June’81 and translated by Jean Robertson.
