Our Ziggy was getting older (11 years old) and I so wanted another puppy from him, so decided to breed Ziggy to our Honey, who had never had a litter. The result was a surprising 7 gorgeous puppies -- amongst them our beautiful, red 'Ruby'. Ruby, along with her almost twin brother, Gideon, reminded us so much of her great grandmother, Minto's Libyan Jewel - our 'Bobby'. Yes, she was prettier and typier than 'Bobby', but the colour and the behaviours were very like her, and so she had to stay with us. Because of our boarding business and other complications, we have not been able to get out to many shows over the past 5 years. When we do get to show our dogs, often it is Richard who goesto the show for me, as someone has to stay and take care of the kennels and I don't drive. Richard doesn't particularly enjoy showing (I'm the one who does), but he does it to help keep our dogs in the show ring for me. Despite this, Ruby was Top Canaan Puppy 2007, and she won Best Bitch 4 times and Reserve Best Bitch 4 times up through the end of 2009, and I think the best is yet to come. Ruby is a delight to live with. Her favourite time is evening when I'm sitting on the couch watching telly. She loves to curl up next to me, her head in my lap. A wonderful friend and companion, as every dog should be, Ruby is also a great ambassador for the breed. |
