Karen Pryor's "Don't Shoot the Dog" was a pivotal read for me when I was a teenager. I am sorry to hear of her passing.

With profound sadness and immense gratitude, we honor the life and legacy of Karen Pryor, a true pioneer in the fields of animal behavior and positive reinforcement training. Karen’s groundbreaking work revolutionized how we communicate with animals—and each other—leaving an indelible mark on science, education, and the lives of countless species around the world.

Announcing my first bred-by Grand Champion!!
Kiki finished her UKC Grand Championship at 15 months old and her title certificate arrived in the mail this week! A little funny thing you might notice on her certificate - Due to the lawsuit my sister is listed as the Breeder of Record, since she owned her dam. I leased her for one litter but UKC doesn't recognize AKC leases, so I am listed as her breeder on AKC but not UKC. I am so proud to have bred this dog even if I'm not the breeder on record. 🤪 Kiki finished on the end of MaryAnn's lead at the MAEDA Whitmore Lake Show back in November. MaryAnn was often the Junior that stepped in at every show when I couldn't make it around the ring another time so she got volunteered to be in her Win photo. The end goal is that Kiki becomes someone's Junior dog. 🤞We are continuing to grow out Kiki's coat from her shave down for surgery recovery last fall and we have some AKC goals this year.

Day 4 ENS & ESI.
Today's Scent was Pine Shavings.

We have some bittersweet news. Some of you have noticed that Memrie's next planned breeding disappeared from my website. When Michelle's absolutely fantastic application for a retired adult came into my email, I knew I could not make Memrie wait any longer on her forever home. Memrie (Mama to the Mediums) left in the Fall to go on Home Trial and is now officially retired, living the best life with Michelle and her husband Paul and their other Labrador Retriever. Memrie has already started training classes with Michelle, who has experience in obedience. Michelle is hoping to do Rally or maybe even some Agility with her. Memrie has been renamed Sallie and now resides in New York!

Please understand the decision to retire and rehome our dogs comes with some grief, but its important to me that all my dogs get the time and attention they deserve, which is what she will get in her new home. We will miss her, but we are so happy for her and look forward to seeing what fun she has in the future with Michelle.

Day 3 - The Flora babies are all steadily gaining weight, have had their first nail trim, and have started ENS and ESI. Red Collar Fern is the first to reach 1 lb. Clover is doing a fantastic job of keeping these babies well fed.

The Ghibli Program is still quite new. My very first litter was in 2021, so all of the Ghibli Poodles are less than 4 years old. What so many of my Ghibli Poodles has accomplished over the last few years makes me so incredibly proud.

In 2024, the Poodles from ALL of the (title-earning age) Ghibli litters are representing and earning titles, but also so many are in classes in all kinds of sports like Barnhunt, Dock Diving, Rally, Agility, Scentwork and more, passing therapy dog certification, and overall being great companions. I hear of them calming upset toddlers and sleeping in bed with the kids, providing comfort to those grieving loved ones, keeping company to those healing from injury/surgery or those surviving chronic illness, learning service tasks to assist their owners, being exercise partners in the great outdoors, and so many winning over the hearts of the public wherever they go. There is so much more than titles to be proud of – for example, I only earned 4 titles total with my own dogs this year, but my biggest achievement has been maintaining Kiki's AKC Coat/Topknot - a much bigger challenge for me than any training goal due to the inflammatory arthritis in my hands. I hereby award myself the CM (Coat Maintenance) Title and ALL the Ghibli Poodles the award of Best Friend and Great Companion.

As far as officially recognized titles, the 2024 Total for all Ghibli Poodles combined is 40 titles, in Agility, Scentwork, Rally, Tricks, Conformation, FastCat, and Companion titles!!!! Which brings the total number of Ghibli Titles since our very first born Puppy, Marnie, all the way to the most recent title earning puppy, Bailey from the Mediums, all the way up to ….99 titles! I am blown away by the dedication and commitment of my puppy buyers.

Now the question is, who will be the 100th Title earning bred-by Poodle for Ghibli ?

Edited to Add : We forgot one of Blackberry's agility titles - Open Fast (OF), which means we are at 100!!! Thank you all for helping the Ghibli Poodles achieve so much.

I have had to let down several people who were anxiously awaiting Clover's puppies since she did have a small litter. Unfortunately, we can't control litter size, color, or how many girls or boys are born. We do plan to breed Clover again this fall, but for those who wish to find their match sooner, please consider Perigueux Poodles upcoming litter. These puppies probably will only be slightly bigger than what we anticipate out of Clover. Blue is my bred-by from the Symphony litter and is currently at my home staying for the holidays; he is such a well tempered and behaved boy that is already well accomplished in performance sports but has a solid off switch. Fran is incredibly kind and I highly recommend her as a breeder. Cheyenne is in heat now and will be bred for puppies to go home in March. I will be looking to identify an applicant for Show or Guardian for the pick puppy from this pairing, as well.

We have had a Temperature drop. When their temperature drops below 98 degrees, we can expect labor within 12-24 hours and for whelping to start within 48 hours. I am here staying at Clover and Cathy's home helping keep Puppy Watch. I can't wait to tell you about the babies when they come.

We have not had any local interest in Chief. We have Four young people on the Top Junior list that worked so hard this year and did so well that will be invited to National Premier, so they each need their own dog, so we would really like to borrow him in June, but would consider a home further away and for the Guardian contract to expire sooner, after Premier. Anything toward the Fort Wayne area, we could borrow him for handling classes instead of weekend dog shows for practice before Premier if that is preferred. I want to give this experience to my kids so badly. 🤞🙏

Please only apply for her if you are ready now. At this time, I am not in the position to hold her for extra weeks after matching. Please understand breeders put more time and money into older puppies so the general rule is responsible breeders don't discount. Serious inquires welcome. I got slammed with many unserious inquires - please do bump your email back to the top if I missed yours and haven't responded.

Cashmere can be Show or pet.

Bailey, one of Memrie's Mediums, had an unfortunate accident on Christmas Day. She found herself at the Emergency Clinic for xrays where it was discovered that she broke both her radius and ulna, a significant injury that will be costly to surgically repair, which when I spoke to Marilee this evening, should be happening tomorrow either at OSU or MedVet by a specialist. Marilee's family is applying for CareCredit, but it will not cover the full amount of the surgery. Bailey is Marilee's service dog in training and has already invested so much time and money into her training (I shared yesterday that she recently earned her AKC Intermediate Tricks title). Marilee's family would appreciate any help and I would be forever thankful to anyone that would help one of my bred-by puppies. I have nearly 5000 followers on this page and if 10 percent of you chose to donate $10, it would get her to her goal. If you can't donate, please consider sharing!
