Sparking Phoenix
Meet the breeder
I'm Nate R., the breeder behind Sparking Phoenix located in Minnesota. Having a dog in our lives is such a blessing. We find so much fulfillment in providing that same companionship to other homes! We fell in love with the breed because of their intelligence and personality. There’s hardly a better feeling than being able to share them with other families that will love them the way that we do!
