Ruby – 3 year old female German Shepherd Cross

Ruby is a three-year-old female German Shepherd cross.

She is an intelligent and energetic girl who absolutely loves cuddles or tummy rubs. Ruby is great with visitors to the house and enjoys any attention she can get from a real cuddle bug.

She enjoys her food, and likes being outside but does need quiet time indoors to rest as she is always on high alert and her humans! Ruby can be left, housetrained, spayed and walks on the lead.

She walks well on a lead but has a high prey drive meaning she will follow her nose and needs continued training on this.

She can therefore suddenly pull if you are not paying attention and is quite strong (this has improved significantly with consistent training via a dog walker), a long line has been used successfully on her walks and she responds well to training, consistency is important.

Once her prey instincts kick in her limited recall becomes nonexistent so a lead is essential at all times. Ruby needs a home that can offer her plenty of stimulation, exercise and the training she needs in a controlled manner.

She is not particularly interested in toys. She is very agile and therefore a secure garden will be essential to prevent her from escaping and going off on an adventure.

Ruby currently is the sole pet so we are unsure how she will respond to other dogs in the home, she has had very limited exposure to children and other dogs. This gorgeous girl is currently in East Sussex.
