Some dogs seem born to shine, and Lumi is one of them.

Lumi, a stunning white standard poodle from my 2022 litter, has grown into everything I hoped for and more. She’s clever, calm, athletic, and endlessly sweet — and thanks to the love and dedication of her family, she’s thriving in every sense of the word.

Chulyen is a Galavanting Poodle who is a working service poodle. He has been on an extraordinary journey with his person, Evie. From the moment he went home with her, it was clear this pairing had something special.

One of my favorite things about raising poodles at Galavanting Poodles is simply watching them interact. Whether it’s a group of puppies tumbling over each other in play, an older dog patiently teaching boundaries, or a bold little pup determined to chase a leaf blowing in the wind, I’m always fascinated by their unique ways of experiencing the world. Even within the same litter, no two puppies are exactly alike. Some are adventurous and bold, others more thoughtful and reserved. Some have an unstoppable drive to work and learn, while others are happiest curled up in a lap.
