Lumi here is rocking the Valentine's day theme. But the colours didn't go as planned. For some reason the "red" is more "orange" than it's supposed to be. Which is quite disappointing. But it's cute none the less.

Due to the incoming tariffs, and the uncertainty in the economy with how severely we will be affected by these harmful tariffs, I am making an educated decision to NOT make Lumi a mama at this time. It would be irresponsible of me to take an unknown risk with uncertain financial futures of fellow Canadians. It would also be irresponsible to send pups into homes which may not be able to afford for them in the future.

Please do your part, support as many Canadian companies as you can. Shop local, support your local small businesses and local farmers. We are all going to need one another.

In the mean time, you can see pictures of Lumi as I get her into come fun and creative grooms.

Valentine's theme coming soon... Just waiting on products.

It's been a while since I've updated. I have some things in the works. Sadly due to Lumi's "unpredictable" heat cycles, I'm unable to travel and use an outside of province stud due to her unpredictable nature. So have plans to be in talks with a local poodle owner today. Long term I do plan to get myself a male.

Lumi is a CERTIFIED service dog (K9Pro Winnipeg) who has passed her public access testing. She has her CHIC number, clean titles of eyes (with breeder notes), thyroid, hips and elbows, and has clean DNA testing via embark. She is 3yrs old. She is CKC and UKC registered. She is intermediate red and carries ee, bb, Ssp.

She is on the taller side, coming in at 26 inches at the withers. Ideal for light mobility work for smaller humans. Poodles are extremely well suited for psychiatric service work. Poodles also excel at fly ball, barn hunt, retrieving and many other high energy sports, so if you are interested in agility titles, poodles are a very versatile breed.

Lumi has medium prey drive, and can be taught to 'leave it" (she lives on a farm with PLENTY of prey)

Lumi possesses an AMAZING temperament for service work. She is very in tune with her handler (aka me), eager to work, eager to learn and always up for a new game of any kind.

Her coat is very luscious and thick, and she's a groomers DREAM for a coat to work with.

She will pass on many of these traits to future offspring.

Lumi says : 3 weeks ago I was supposed to have my big test. But the tester got a bite on his hand by a very bad dog. He needed to see a doctor so we needed to wait. But now he's feeling a little better, so I've got my test on Sunday to be a "certified service dog" for my owner with ProK9 Winnipeg.

I've practiced lots, and I'm a good girl and I get lots of cookies! I'll have some great news to share Sunday, so stay tuned!

UnFURtunatily the testing did not happen today through no fault of mine or Lumi's. The trainer actually was bitten a week ago, and needed to head to the ER today for IV antibiotics.

He isn't just a service dog trainer, he's also a behaviour trainer and explosive detection/bed bug detection dog handler.. He also trains police dogs. So a bite is bound to happen now and then.

I'll update once he's all healed up and we have a date rescheduled.

For now, she can "Netflix and chill".

Tomorrow is the big day for this girl. 3yrs in the making. Tomorrow she has her public access test for service work. What this will allow is for her to travel with me as a service dog, in all of Canada, all of the USA and some other places in the world without issue.

She's more than ready. We can do this!

Freshly bathed and tidied up, looking and feeling her best, we've got this!

Not much has been happening over here lately. But I've got some news. August 28, Lumi goes for her PAT testing to allow her to "officially" be a CERTIFIED service dog.

Canada doesn't have federal regulation, it's all provincially based in regards to service dog laws. Some provinces require certification, some provinces (like Manitoba) rely on the human rights code of ethics, for those with disabilities and a doctors note.. I don't "need" to certify Lumi if I never plan to leave the province. But if I ever plan to travel with her, train, plane, or other, within Canada, and outside of Canada, I need this certification.

The airlines specifically have made it extremely challenging to bring your service dog. Especially owner trained ones. They now have a list of trainers that they go by, which they have deemed worthy of training and certifying service dogs. With the requirement of a "professional training company" signing off on your dog, saying yes, they have been trained and are deemed "safe and trained" to travel isn't always as reliable as it sounds. Which is why it's hard to travel with a service dog.

Sadly this requirement came into place via the airlines and now VIA rail as well, because too many people were bringing 'fake" service dog on board, which were relieving themselves, barking, biting... It wasn't pretty.

So back to why Lumi is being certified, there is a push for a federal standard. Lumi's testing will be at the highest level required in Canada, and I'll be able to bring her anywhere within the country, without issue, and likely the USA as well

It was a good day. The trainer was thrilled with Lumi and could tell I put in a lot of work with her. He has no problems taking her on as one of the dogs he certifys. His exact words "I have no problems with this dog, I like her demeanour".

He isn't a new age trainer with only positive reinforcement, force free kind of training. He comes from a police background and understands dogs body language and how to communicate with them in a way they understand. He does a very balanced approach. There is nothing wrong with negative consequences, when positive reinforcement isn't working, but a correction is simply a correction. Nothing more. He loves the new age trainers, because it's making him a lot of money. (his words) lol. He's pro e-collar, pro chain collars, and pro balanced training.

We have some very minor things to work on, her remaining in a "down", remaining in a sit, and we've changed from a haltie to a chain collar and the biggest change... No treats when working? I am not a treat only, I do both treat and praise. But he wants no treats. This won't be a hard change, as she gets very limited treats when working, but I think I'll still continue with the odd treat. We get paid to work, why shouldn't they.

The change to the chain vs haltie, took Lumi to the next level which I've been missing this whole time as chains are soooo taboo in the Training world. But like any tool, when used correctly, it's effective. It's not the old school large heavy choke chain, but instead a very thin chain now. This will now enable me to break her focus with seeing other dogs and hyper focusing on them when working. Now with this added correction, I can get her ignoring working dogs like she was before she had 2 negative dog encounters.

I expect she will pass her test when she's ready. He only didn't get to see her with other dogs, but she passed all the tests he threw at her. Including walking in an arcade, and sitting in front of the kids play area, and an unplanned little kid approach her, get right in her face, and she was calm through all of it. We even dos à long down Stay for 10 min, which she was fine with and passed as well.

Yay Lumi!

This lady is going for her evaluation today to see if she's ready for her service dog test. All bathed, brushed and ready!

We got some new gear accessories. Hopefully this will help to deter people from trying to pat her, or distract her.

Did you know that distracting a service dog, trying to pat a service dog, calling a service dog, and even talking to a service dog can severely impact the dogs ability to do its job.

In my case, it isn't a medical emergency, and it isn't a life threatening situation, if Lumi misses an alert. But for many handlers, it is. Besides the very well known seeing eye dog, there are MANY forms of service dogs. Seizure alert dogs, PTSD dogs, heart rate monitor dogs, mobility assistance, mental health service dogs, diabetic alert service dogs.... The list goes on and on. A tiny distraction, which draws attention away from the handler for even a second, can mean a missed alert from the dog, which can result in a medical emergency for the handler. Yes it is that quick. One kissy noise, one "oh you are so cute", is enough for the dog to miss a heart rate change, and their handler is about to have a heart attack, or a blood sugar spike or dip, or a hormonal seizure indicator.

PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH, DISTRACT, TALK TO, MAKE KISSY NOISES, or any other form of distraction from making strong eye contact or anything else that will draw the dogs attention towards you. Simply IGNORE a service dog. Give the handler and the dog space, the dog is a piece of medical equipment, no different than a wheelchair, crutches, a heart rate monitor, an insulin pump. It is a life saving necessity to those who have them, or a mobility aide which helps the handler mitigate daily life easier.

Please help us handlers by simply ignoring our dogs, even the super adorable ones. I know it's hard. But they have a very important job to do, and you aren't helping them to do their extremely important work.
