Ruby

9 months old - Female - Great Pyrenees

Meet Ruby, a promising young recruit born and raised right here at the rescue. From just 4 weeks old, Ruby has been immersed in the rhythm of farm life—learning the ropes alongside sheep, goats, poultry, waterfowl, and even cats. Now 8 months old, she’s already showing the natural instincts of a true livestock guardian dog, working side by side with her littermates and other guardians without ever harming a single animal.

Like most young trainees, Ruby still has a playful streak—sometimes her “patrols” turn into chase games—but with continued guidance and maturity, this girl is on track to become an outstanding working LGD. She’d thrive with a confident male partner and a family ready to invest in her ongoing development.

Ruby’s personality is pure gold: she’s smart, quirky, a little sassy, and has just enough selective hearing to keep her handlers on their toes. She loves water, brings humor to the everyday, and has that spark that makes her unforgettable. She’s good with dogs, respectful of cats, and learning to mind her manners with kids.

🚨 Field Report:

• Livestock Exposure: Sheep, goats, poultry, waterfowl, and cats

• Temperament: Bright, independent, playful, alert

• Training: Intermediate LGD level; kennel training in progress

• Travel: Working on it — a bit car-sick but improving

• Health: Up to date on vaccines, microchipped, no known medical issues

• Stranger Protocol: Warns and takes her cues from you before warming up

Ruby is best suited for a working home where she can grow into her full potential under experienced guidance. She’s not just another pup—she’s a future star guardian in the making, wrapped in a little sass and a lot of heart.
