"Ruby" 
Ruby earns her first title in four straight runs, which is not surprising since she has a lot of GO!  Her classic desire to retrieve is wonderful to watch  as she springs from the line into action.   
This desire to "get the bird!"  has been her hallmark trait since her first exposure as a young pup. 

As the Serrano chile deepens from green to orange and finally red, its dynamite-hot is an understatement. "Ruby" gets her name from her sizzling desire to retrieve - like her name - she is all out HOT!

Aptly named, 
Redtail's CoarseGold Serrano Sizzle JH,
 her eagerness translates well in this series of photos with a mallard drake.
