Meet Lupin — the epitome of elegance, charm, and heart. This stunning cream boy, officially known as Forest Lakes Beau Monde Alleurs, is the proud son of our GRCH Beatrice’s Diamond of Forest Lakes “Daphne” and GRCH En Tour’s Trail Blazer of Forest Lakes CGC TKN “Blaze.” His pedigree is rich with grace, structure, and soundness — and it shows.

Lupin resides with his devoted guardian mom, Catherine, where he brings joy to her grooming shop clients and thrives in everyday life. Last fall, he earned his UKC Champion title during his first weekend in the ring — going from no training to showing like a pro in just three days, thanks to the kind and talented Jessica, a handler, groomer, and service dog trainer who made his first shows a joy.

In summer 2025, Lupin came out with me for four weekends — and what a summer it’s been! He earned his UKC Grand Championship, capping off the title by winning Best of Breed over two champions and three grand champions. Confident, joyful, and ever-so-showy, Lupin continues to charm judges and spectators alike.

Lupin is everything we love in a standard poodle: square to perfection, balanced structure, sweet temperament, natural showmanship, and a heart that shines through. His journey is still unfolding, and we can’t wait to see what this exceptional young dog does next as he and his mom explore the world of performance and companion sports.
