Ruby roooooooo!

I've never seen a dog with a bigger personality than my mini, Ruby. She is very vocal and almost seems like she is having a conversation with you at times. She always answers your questions with a "rooo" of some kind. My favorite is the long, excited "roooo...........ooo!" in which she gets a little hoarse in the middle of it and nothing comes out until the end. Her quick "rooos" are just as cute, and so are her "errrrrrrrs"
I wasn't aware, in the beginning, of the "mini schnauzer roo" until I saw some videos on YouTube of other minis that sounded just like my baby. For the life of me I've tried to get Ruby to howl like my dog Honey use to do. But all I ever got was her patented roo which I've decided is fine with me.
