Ruby is a traditional female Staffordshire bull terrier, aged 8 years and 7 months at the time of arrival and weighing 17.3 kilos.

 

Ruby has a lovely, friendly, sweet personality. She will suit a home with someone there all the time as this is the sort of home she came from.

• No cats in the home.

• No dogs in the home

Handling

A delightful, outgoing, happy little staffie girl. Very pleased to meet new people, without being overbearing or dominant. Zero aggression shown in any of our handling of her. Very easy to handle and look after, and very people focused.

 

Walks

No pulling or weaving, walks really well, often with a slack lead. She has seen plenty of dogs and several cats on the walks and has shown on passing interest, no bad reactions. Happy to do her toilet on the walks. Not bothered by passing people or traffic. Happy to do her toilet business on the walk. She appears to enjoy her walks.

 

Play

At the moment Ruby is much more into fuss. She has shown some interest in a snuffle box, but she has not yet shown interest in toys as she focuses more on having cuddles. We are told she only really liked Nylabones.

 

Health

Appears in good overall health with no obvious signs of injury or illness. She will see our vet during week commencing 23 March 2026 for a general check-up, and restart her vaccinations.
