Ruby QLD

Border Collie

Location	Monto
Age	2
Gender	Female

James was looking for two dogs to fill out his farm team. When he picked up Ruby, he didn't know she'd be able to cover for two dogs' work. A couple years later, Ruby is James' main dog, proving herself a true gem out of a team of 10 dogs. She has an insatiable will to work, and endless energy for the job be it working cattle or horses. In her down time, Ruby doesn't switch off. When she's not working she loves running, and sprinting with the farm bikes.
