Female
Rubi arrived on 2/11/10 and passed her CGC test on 10/8. She's about 3 yrs old and 59 lbs. This girl is a real beauty, and her photos don't do her justice! Rubi is VERY affectionate with people, loves physical attention, and is a fairly energetic girl. She does well traveling in the car, and she is good about crating & spending time alone. Rubi enjoys her training sessions and knows sit, down, leave-it, shake, roll-over, has an excellent recall. She's also likes to fetch and play tug. Rubi usually walks nicely on a loose-leash except when seeing a new dog or when she wants to visit one of her favorite people. Rubi has no body handling issues, and does not resource guard her food, toys or rawhides from people. (Though on 6/2, a pig's ear proved so scrumptious, she had a hard time letting go of it!) We've discovered Rubi does not like thunder and would like to camp out in her crate or another dark space...

We've discovered Rubi does not like thunder and would like to camp out in her crate or another dark space during that time. Rubi generally doesn't have great dog skills, so we'd love to find her a home where she's the only dog. Her first inclination used to be to bark and lunge towards them. However, with slow introductions to friendly dogs, she's been able to play with five other program dogs, though she's got a rough play style. When on leash, she has learned to behave politely in a strange dog's presence! Rubi is receiving her obedience training at a Virginia correctional center.
