Meet Phoenix, the newest canine member of our Red Rock community! Phoenix is a 12 week old Goldendoodle puppy who joined the Zeeb family- Tom, Carolina, Tommy (15) and Dominic (9)- just a month ago and now calls N. Lake Shore Drive his home! 

The Zeeb family decided they were ready for their first family pet and landed on the Goldendoodle breed out of a desire for a medium sized, well mannered, hypo-allergenic companion. They came across Siesta Key Doodles, who they say are fantastic breeders that specialize in the breed. Of all the pups in the litter, they chose Phoenix because of his adorable face and beautiful beige coloring. “Our breeder named him,” says Carolina. “Even though we had a list of potential names, we loved the name after they explained that he was a unique puppy since he had blue eyes and a lighter nose, which is not common for doodles. They wanted to give him a strong name ‘Phoenix Rising.’”

Phoenix is affectionate and playful, smart and confident. He loves his toys, but loves his family most of all! He sticks close to mom throughout the day at home and loves riding in the car for school drop off. Most impressively, Phoenix is being raised bilingual "just like my kids,” says Carolina. “I speak Spanish and he already understands!”

He is also well on his way to becoming a well-trained “good boy!” After only a week of Board and Train Phoenix is potty trained and knows 5 different commands- sit, stay, down, watch (look at me) and come. The family recommends them highly! (SarasotaDog.net)

Of Phoenix, Carolina says, “He’s such a great companion and the perfect addition to our family.” We can’t wait to see you on our neighborhood dog walks, Zeeb Family!
