BCBullies Royal Ruemor UPF1 NTD

|---|
Rue was our "first round draft pick" female from the 2nd ever litter from two parents who have OFA Excellent Hips for our breed. Woodsie and Willow have both been wonderful, enthusiastic, silly, snuggly companions to us and Rue seems to take after both parents pretty equally. Between the two of them, they have earned nearly 70 titles - including 11 champion or grand champion level titles - earned in Conformation, Rally Obedience, Weight Pull, Barn Hunt, Trick Dog, and more!
PERSONALITY
& Temperament Traits
Rue is very much a “please love me and snuggle me forever” kind of dog, much like her dam, Willow. However, she also has absolutely no idea how large or heavy she is - a trait she no doubt inherited from her sire, Woodsie. Rue actually earned her name from one of her funniest little quirks - whenever she is happy, she makes a distinctive “rooing” sound to ensure everyone around her knows it. She has done it since she was a puppy and still greets us with her happy roos every day. She is goofy, affectionate and endlessly entertaining, always finding new ways to make the people around her laugh. She's not much of a swimmer, but if there is shallow water around, she will be in it, getting as dirty as possible and doing slow laps like a true house hippo.
Although Rue had a later start in formal training, she has proven to be extremely biddable, eager to work and quick to learn. At home, Rue is incredibly easy to live with. She settles beautifully in her crate but can also be trusted completely when left loose in the house. She is also the only dog in our home capable of keeping a toy "alive" for longer than 30 seconds. Rue will happily carry the same stuffed toy around for weeks (usually "rooing" at us as she walks proudly around the house with it)...until I eventually forget to hide it from the others, then another dog finds it and sends it off to stuffy heaven. Rue has an adaptable, medium-energy temperament. She is perfectly content to spend a quiet day relaxing and sleeping, but she is equally happy running alongside a bike or hiking in the mountains all day. She is ready for nearly anything we ask of her without having rigid exercise or activity requirements - one of the qualities we appreciate most about this special breed.

BREEDING
Status & Future Plans
Rue will be bred in late 2026 or early 2027.
Everything is in place for Rue’s first planned breeding! We have selected an accomplished, multi-titled stud who we believe complements her beautifully, and we could not be more excited about everything this pairing has the potential to produce. Now, we are just waiting for Rue to decide when the time is right!
We will post more details here - make sure to check back often!

Tito is a total love bug with his humans and regularly invades our space demanding attention or moral support while he plays with his toys and "shows us" what he's doing. He reminds me a lot of Woodsie this way - he wants you to be included in whatever he is doing and is almost always within arms reach as you move throughout the house doing chores. Tito is a free spirit that enjoys exploring his environment but most importantly, loves to roll everywhere. Whether he is playing with a toy, out for a walk, or taking a break...chances are, you will find him rolling around on the ground. He LOVES playing with his toys and rubber squishy balls definitely seem to be his toy of choice but he's not picky. He will do just about anything for a good ChuckIt ball and will play fetch for as long as you let him. Tito does not seem to have separation anxiety, he settles wonderfully in his crate and has good impulse control with food and treats. He is a willing participant in care tasks such as bathing, teeth brushing, ear cleaning and nail trims.
Tito, much like his parents, has a lot of enthusiasm but is not overly motivated to be a high level sport dog. However, if you are wanting a companion that is happy to participate and dabble in things, he is your guy! He has done formal training in rally obedience, weight pull, and scent detection. He was exposed to gerbils for barn hunt and did not show much interest as he really has no prey drive or desire to find/chase small animals - though I'm sure we could teach him to alert on the odor for treats if his owner has a strong desire to be involved in it. We will continue to work on life skills and sporty foundations with him as long as we have him, with a strong focus on rally obedience, weight pull and scent detection.
He keeps us laughing constantly with his silly "big head, no thoughts" antics and we have no doubt that his new home will love him as much as we do. He is a total pleasure to have in the home and a super easy guy to keep happy - you bring the activity and he will bring the enthusiasm!
Tito is a beautiful mix of both of his parents. He has great bone, a robust chest, well set shoulders, and a pretty rear all wrapped up in a nice yellow package (correct name for his colour is "Blue Fawn")! He has a beautiful white chest and then he just has a light sprinkle of white on his nose and tips of his toes.
