Other Notes

Ruby is looking for a calm home with patient and understanding owners, who will allow her time to settle and continue with her training. She could live in a flat, however she can be vocal when left alone so this should be taken into consideration. Ruby is a brachycephalic (short faced bree)d who has a combination of anatomical factors related to their shortened faces which may reduce their ability to breath normally. She does have some respiratory noises including snoring but has not shown any exercise intolerance of difficulties with her breathing. Ruby has an undershot jaw (her lower jaw protrudes forward) which can make it difficult for her to pick up food from the floor but otherwise does not seem to affect her. Ruby also has narrowed ear canals, again common in her breed, therefore she may be prone to ear infections so it's important to inspect her ears regularly and seek veterinary care if concerned. Due to Ruby's breed, she has facial folds & a tail fold which will need to be kept clean as these areas can become infected due to a moist environment between the skin. Ruby has been neutered, microchipped, vaccinated and is up to date with flea and worm treatment. She has also been health checked and behaviourally assessed.
