Meet “Mushu,” AKC’s Eiszeit’s Carmine Strides with Purpose.🐲🪷✨🥢

Mushu is an 8 week old working line German Shepherd bred by Helena Gallagher of Eiszeit German Shepherds, out of her C litter: Flavor Vom Feugarten “Dark Sister” × Takker Von Pentavita “Takker.” Surprise, it’s not another floppy eared lab puppy!🤓

I am incredibly excited and feel very lucky to have the opportunity to add this little guy to my program with the hopes of raising and eventually placing him as a service dog. While my program has primarily focused on Labrador Retrievers, Mushu is an opportunity to explore adding a different breed to the program while remaining intentional about the temperament, health, and suitability required for service work.

Mushu is still a baby, and there is a lot of growing up to do before we can make any promises about his future. So far, he is showing plenty of promise, and I am excited to see how he develops. The cute puppy moments, early training, and potential are only a small piece of the puzzle. My priority will be giving him the opportunity to grow into a confident, environmentally stable, thoughtful, and resilient dog while paying close attention to who he is as an individual.

Mushu is named after the little Chinese dragon from Disney’s Mulan.🐉 🧧I thought it was fitting for a puppy who hopefully one day will become someone’s loyal sidekick in their own story. German Shepherds are known for their loyalty, devotion, and close bonds with their people and there is something special about the idea of a dog who gets to be that constant companion through all of life’s adventures. Of course, those qualities alone don’t make a service dog, but they’re part of what makes this breed so special.

For now, Mushu gets to be the little sidekick in my story while we figure out what his own story will look like.🐉🥹

Happy first birthday Ramona.🥹🌻

Our sweet polar bear and Disney princess. I cannot believe she is already one year old. So many adventures in her first short year of life, and so many more to come. I’m going to continue to soak up every moment I get with her, because I know one day she’ll be off doing big things in the big world. And while I cannot wait to watch her grow into everything she’s meant to be, I’m in no rush to get there.

For a while, Ramona was the baby of the pack, and she took that role seriously. She was the baby. And then her little sister Jo came home, and she stepped into this big sister role. All of a sudden, she wasn’t the baby anymore. She was a dog. It’s crazy how that happens.

She also came into heat the day before her birthday, so she is OFFICIALLY a woman now.😭

From the day she came home, this girl has always loved to pick things up. We’ve always said “Ramona has item!” Because she does. If she’s excited she’ll grab whatever is closest and run around with her prize. And more often than not, that prize is a Croc. She has a very special love for Crocs.

As she’s learned the rules of the world this first year of life, I’ve still let her carry around her occasional emotional support Croc. Because at the end of the day they’re dogs. We don’t get them for nearly long enough, and I want to make room for the little things that make them who they are. So let them hold their Croc. Let them be babies for just a little longer.

Happy first birthday to my sweet Ramona. I’m so lucky I get to be a part of your life, and I can’t wait to see where this big, beautiful girl goes. I love you, my item-holding, Croc-loving, polar bear princess.

Introducing Nori!🌼

Nori is an 8 month old Labrador Retriever service dog in training. She has been working with us virtually since she first came home as a little baby. She is now here with me for a long term board and train, as a hybrid owner trainer/program dog!

She has been with me for around 3 weeks now, and is settling in wonderfully as part of the pack. We have been spending the last few weeks building on her foundation for her career in service work.

I am so excited to help this girl meet her fullest potential and very grateful to be a part of her journey.💫
