About Ruby
Lovely Ruby is a beautiful and very friendly girl who has come from a life on a farm where she has both bred puppies and been a working gun dog. However, she has recently developed an interest in the chickens on the farm and although she hasn't harmed any, this prompted her former owner to decide that as Ruby was now retired from both her past breeding and past working careers, she would be better off in a loving home. Ruby agrees!
Ruby has lived with children of all ages. She has not lived with cats or small pets, and should not be re-homed with chickens! She has been used to other dogs of all ages and is happy around them, but would be suitable to be re-homed as an only dog or with other dogs. She has not been used to life off the farm, so is only used to a very rural lifestyle and will therefore need patient end empathic handling as she learns all about life in a busier environment.
Ruby walks nicely on the lead, and is a lovely and very interactive dog who really enjoys fuss and attention. She is used to human or canine company most of the time.
