Where do we start? Archer sired a litter of ten puppies with a smooth champion bitch (Roxanne). All of the puppies were smooth! There was a beautiful tri bitch that we could have had but Phoenix had his grandmother's (Sierra) look behind those eyes. So we ended up with another male that we really didn't plan to have. Phoenix is over half way to his championship. He has turned out to be a rich, dark red color with a dark mask and some mahogany on his body. A solid body with very nice movement; shows his neck and wags his tail. A very striking boy! He is a sweet, intelligent dog who is very easy to live with. He has a bright future and still has that look behind those eyes, which reminds me of his grandmother and makes my heart melt. He has grown into quite a young man and is just starting his career.
