Write a function that checks whether a given string matches the format of a US phone number such as `123-456-7890`. The format requires:

- Three digits;
- A dash (`-`);
- Three more digits;
- Another dash (`-`);
- Four digits.

Use regular expressions to perform this validation. The function should return `True` if the input string matches the required pattern, and `False` otherwise.

**Example valid phone number:**

- `123-456-7890`

**Example invalid phone numbers:**

- `1234567890`  
- `123-45-6789`  
- `abc-def-ghij`
