Ruby V's Page

Ruby V was born 5/28/00 -
Here she is at seven weeks.

Ruby has been placed with Puppy Raiser Joan  of Orangevale, CA.  Joan has a lot of experience with puppy raising, Ruby will be her 6th CCI puppy.  Joan says Ruby V is  going to have some big shoes to fill.
 

Joan's first pup, a yellow lab, was released and is now her wonderful pet who does agility.   Her second pup was Delilah, a golden.  Delilah went through most of her advanced training and then was chosen to be a breeder.  Joan immediately volunteered to be her breeder caretaker and after waiting and waiting she had her first litter 3/21/99.  They  had 8 healthy LGX puppies.  After reviewing Delilah's  hip x-rays it was determined she had mild hip dysphasia and since she was slow in coming into heat they chose to retire her.  She is now Joan's pet therapy dog and they visit nursing homes and hospitals.

Joan's  3rd pup Elli Jay is a graduate with Jane Veith in Redmond Washington.  Jane is a wonderful person and is often on the CCI People list as doing marvelous things.

Her 4th pup was Lucy II. She was a bit difficult to motivate, but after 9 months of advanced training just the right person came along, Elizabella from Seattle Washington.  She graduated this past May and was chosen as the CCI representative to attend the Charles Schultz Memorial service in Santa Rosa this month. 

The last and 5th  pup was Sassie.  She is one of Delilah's puppies so Joan  had her since birth except for the one week she was at  Santa Rosa being tattooed and vet checked.  Joan says she is  sweet, calm, loving and very willing to work.  Her high hopes came to fruition since Sassie   graduated with Sydney Sullivan of Castro, CA this February '01.

Now arrives Ruby V.  Joan's daughter, who is a second grade teacher, is going to help co-raise Ruby.   She will be taking her to school part of the time. Joan works part time and also will be taking Ruby to work.  They  live on 2 1/2 acres with chickens, horses and 5 cats as well as Delilah and Penrose... sounds like a good life to me.

Joan is very active in their  Gold Rush Champions group, does lots of demos and usually takes the pups on at least one plane ride. Sassie went to Wansington, DC and toured the White House. (That's another story). You can visit the Gold Rush Champion Puppy Page at http://grchamps.home.att.net/raisers.htm .

Joan and Ruby August 2000

Ruby has settled in with Joan.  Joan reports that  Ruby does a great sit, learning down, shakes, learning to speak, does an awesome wait and a great here.  She loves to snuggle and is very calm...... so calm one of the trainers calls her the couch..  She still doesn't like the kennel but is adjusting.  Things seem to be going really well.

CCI Fun and Agility day at Joan's 9/30/00

Joan hosted a day at their ranch in Orangevale.  An agility demonstration was given and then the CCI guests all had the opportunity to try the various jumps with instructors at each station.  After agility it was play time and there were 
dogs everywhere even in the fountain.  What a great day!!!

THANKS JOAN!

Little Miss Ruby was  released.   Ruby is such a sweet and sensitive dog but she did not adapt well  to changes in her environment and just could not take  kennel life which included refusing to eat.  Ruby now lives with a family in Utah where she is very happy and her appetite is not a problem.
