What are his/her unique personality characteristics?

Phoenix’s personality is that of a natural leader. She’s also the mother of another litter in the team. And she is kind of the mother of the whole team as far as her personality goes.

What is that litter’s “theme” name?…and other siblings’ names from that litter?

Phoenix’s litter was named after Rocket’s, along with Titan, her co-leader. The other dogs in the litter are named Dawn and Maven, and Dragon, and Spitzer. Yeah, I think that’s actually all of them.

What is the bloodline?

Her bloodlines come from the 25 years that we’ve been breeding dogs, as well as the sire of her litter is Jeff King’s dog, Bailey.
