Littermates...

Ruthie and Reggie are very close right now. They like to cuddle up together when they sleep, they love to wrestle and lay down and chew on the same rawhide. Usually it's recommended that littermates are not kept together--however, in this case I think it would work out if they would go to the same family. Both pups have been extremely nice with one another and I've not seen squabbles and aggression among them. However, they will also do fine if adopted separately. They will probably develop their individual personality more this way, as Ruthie will likely become more outgoing and Reggie---who is such a gentleman that he takes second place in getting cuddles from his humans, would likely get more attention. Both pups definitely have a sweet disposition, with Ruthie getting a bit puppy hyper at times during play, but you can calm her very easily.

Ruthie loves the outdoors

Ruthie loves to romp outside, though she likes it when you go outside with her. She races around with brother Reggie and looked on in amazement when I blew some bubbles for one of my other setters who likes to chase after them and pop them. She looked so cute trying to snap at a few herself, but many times is approaching so slowly that they pop before she reaches one.

Ruthie is a great little girl!!

Ruthann- Little Ruthie was born 9/28/06 and was surrendered with her littermate Reginald to a shelter in Kansas. Ruthie is a dainty, sweet, cuddly puppy girl that currently weighs 20 lbs. She is likely a Llewellin setter, has a cute, angelic face and chestnut brown eyes.
Ruthie loves to snuggle into your lap on the couch, loves to wrestle with brother Reggie, or anybody else that’s willing to get into the game, and loves rawhide chews, rope toys and squeaky balls. This little girl is still all puppy and a bit mouthy, though we are working on that. She’s easily re-directed to nibble on a toy instead of your hands. She’s very curious and tries to put her paws on the counter to see what foster mommy might be doing up there in the kitchen.

She’s a bit shy when meeting strangers, but when encouraged, goes up readily to visit with guests and snuggles in. Ruthie is willingly going into the crate when lured in with a treat and lies quietly, if she’s had some exercise and playtime. She should be easily to housebreak, as she’s shown us that she loves to go potty outside. We do make sure to get her outside right when waking, after a meal, after vigorous play and usually every 45 minutes when we’re home. She’s learned our doggie door quickly, but we do remind her to go out, as sometimes she doesn't want to go out in the yard by herself. She's had very few potty accidents and has been keeping her crate clean when we’re gone from home.

Puppy girl Ruthie has arrived safely!

Ruthie has arrived safely with brother Reggie after a long trip from Kansas and loads of dedicated volunteers driving both puppies across the country on two days.
