🌟 Simon
Sir Simon Flynn Grady of Forest Lakes
Owned by Fenton Schools and handled/loved by Lindsay Grady
Sir Simon, our stunning apricot Standard Poodle already makes pixie-dust-level magic at Fenton High as a certified therapy dog. Here’s why he’s got us over the moon:
- Born Feb 11, 2021, Simon started his journey early—entering training at just 11 weeks after passing temperament testing with flying colors from a highly respected service dog trainer.
- He joined the Fenton Tiger Paw Patrol in April and instantly clicked with Sunny, the school’s first therapy dog. These two are already turning double the love and double the support into everyday campus life.
- Simon’s mission? To spread joy, lift moods, and offer unwavering, non-judgmental companionship—helping students de-stress, improve focus, build empathy, and even boost reading skills.
- When he’s off duty, Simon knows it’s chill time: vest off means it’s time to enjoy being one of Lindsay’s beloved dog children.
🔥 Feia
UCH Wish Upon A Firestar Reverie of Forest Lakes NA, NAJ, OA, OAJ, AXJ, MJP, MXJ, NF, AX, MX, CGC, VCX
Owned and handled by Beth
Feia is everything we hope for in a homebred girl: confident, driven, and drop-dead gorgeous—and she backs it all up in the ring and on the field.
💫 CH Feia finished her UKC Championship with a clean sweep at Premier Nationals and never looked back! She’s earned a pile of AKC agility titles, from Novice to Masters, and keeps leveling up.
🏃♀️ Fast, focused, and a little bit fiery, Feia lives for the jump, the tunnel, and the applause. She’s got precision, speed, and that unmistakable sparkle.
👑 Bred here at Forest Lakes, she’s out of our beloved Penelope and Romeo-part of our second generation of purposeful breeding. With structure, temperament, and performance all dialed in, she passed her exceptional qualities on to her one beautiful litter before retiring from breeding in 2023.
🐾 These days, she’s living her best life with Beth—training, competing, and soaking up the love as a cherished companion and star athlete.
Feia is proof that versatility, beauty, and drive can live in the same poodle. We couldn’t be more proud of this little powerhouse!
