Ruby's story is quite interesting.  Her breeder, Curinn Hicks, came here with Angie (Ruby's mother) and bred her to Quno two separate times, which did not produce puppies. I begged Curinn to come back to Quno one more time, but to leave Angie here. I could see the quality of Angie, and knew the combo would be great. Curinn agreed. 

After doing progesterone tests, we discovered Angie was not ready to be bred until day 21, which is particularly late. We bred her and she had seven pups. Curinn called and said the one female is nice, but long in back and a bit backward in temperament. It wasn't until our No. Ohio GSD Show that I could see the pups myself. Curinn brought the one female and one male. She said she didn't like the female, and she was for sale as a pet. 

I took one look at that puppy and fell in love. She was not shy, just reserved, aloof. But, for some reason, she came right up to me, kissing me, and I was hooked. I had unfortunately just lost my dog and felt this was "meant to be." 

I named her Ruby; she was 11 weeks old. I started her as a house pet, and didn't begin  thinking of showing her until she was 6 months old. She has never faltered in temperament and is actually a VERY sound dog. 

Her first time in the ring was spectacular: 1st place GSDC of Canada 2000 Nationals, under Judge Leon Breault (shown below).

Ruby's second time in the ring, at the GSDC of America 2000 National Specialty show, she again was 1st place under Judge Helen Franklin.  

 


 

Ruby's co-owners were also "love at first sight" people. Leslie and Joe Beccia saw Ruby at her Futurity, where she won 2nd place under Helen Miller Fisher.

Having the Beccias as co-owners has been spectacular. Joe and Leslie are the most wonderful people to be with. They have supported Ruby and I to the fullest. It has become a wonderful relationship, which has included many beautiful German Shepherds.  

Winning Grand Victrix in Canada Under Judge Ed Barritt, and then going BEST OF BREED and Grand Victrix at the American National under Judge Dave Rinke was the thrill of a lifetime for both the Beccias and myself.

Ruby was bred the first time to AOE GV 3X Sel Exc CH MarHaven's And The Beat Goes On PT OFA H/E. The litter was 13 puppies, which have grown up beautifully. Here are a few pictures:
