What are his/her unique personality characteristics?

Ruby’s personality is kind of at times a class clown. She’s always pretty happy when you stop –or very happy when you stop on the trail. And she likes to rub her back on the gangline, get a little dance going.

What is the bloodline?

Ruby was named after Jake Berkowitz’s daughter, and she is out of Solomon and Butter. So Solomon is a lot of our kennel’s bloodline. And then John Baker is the Butter side.
