Ruthie

Ruthie is a very sweet and lovable pup who gets excited when she sees the people she loves but it takes her a few minutes to warm up to any new friends. Ruthie is a bit more hesitant around men than women but once she is sure someone new is “safe,” she immediately accepts them as a buddy. Ruthie has spurts of high energy and excitement but knows to settle down as well. She is great with other dogs and kids and is nice to cats but wants them to play with her and they are usually not as interested in playing with Ruthie. She rarely jumps up on people but can get excited and forget, oops, but she is learning! She loves to run and so a fence is preferred unless you are looking for a running partner to expend her energy and yours. Ruthie has a fantastic “doodle” coat and it is beautiful when long and shaggy but it can easily mat when not brushed on a daily basis so unless you are interested in daily brushing, it is best to keep her coat short as it is much easier to maintain (remember that Ruthie does require regular grooming appointments to keep her coat in tiptop shape). Ruthie has also been kept on a dry dog food and milk bone diet (no human food) to keep her from getting tummy aches. Ruthie is a very smart and well-behaved girl with lots of love to give.
