Phoenix has brindle fur, a black muzzle, a white patch on his chest, and floppy ears.

Phoenix is such a cute little guy! He loves to play with his siblings--running around with them and playing tug with their toys. He is the chunky one in the group, but he does not let that slow him down too much. Always up for some cuddling, he's very affectionate and loves to give kisses.<p>Phoenix is a young puppy, and we are currently working on potty training and very basic commands. He would do best with a family willing to take the time to continue his training. We fondly nicknamed him Hippo because he is quickly becoming the biggest in the litter.<p>Check out Phoenix playing with his friend Declan and his siblings!<p><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/I1ei6bGXHfE" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe>
