Phoenix is actually our grand-dog whom we dearly love. She is unique in her breed as she is a cross between a Rhodesian Ridgeback and a Dachshund! She has the head of the two mixes; the body of the Dachshund and a ridge that runs along her spine which you can see when she's on alert, that is typical of the Rhodesian Ridgeback. She is indeed, a special girl! She goes hunting with our son and she loves to fish. She just wasn't enjoying the 9 degrees Fahrenheit temperatures. Thank you for reading!! !LUV
