Dunnorthac Ruby was bought along with her litter sister Sapphire from Michele Dunn and family.

She was the first Red Merle that either of us had seen and we fell in love at first sight.

It was tremendous fun, but a great challenge having two puppies to train at the same time as they were far more interested in each other than in what we had to say.

Unfortunately the girls managed to scavange some left over slug pellets from a the ashes of a bonfire.

Much careful treatment from the vet resulted in saving Sapphire, but Ruby died.

She is buried here in the garden
