| MURPHY Murphy is a purebred male Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier. Hia DOB is 11/27/05 Murphy is a owner turn-in. Some info is below: When we had our very first litter, I offered one puppy to my next door neighbor who was a widow living alone. She has had him for I believe about 3 years. He presents as being very protective of her – it is just she and the dog in the house. When the mailman or strangers come he growls (he has never bitten anyone buy does present aggressive by growling) He is a marshmallow with my wife and I.... sweet as can be – my read has been that he sees himself as the master of the house next door as his owner is on the meek side. Last night Murphy took a piece of paper from a project my neighbor was working on and had it in his mouth. She said Murphy give that back to me........... he did not respond so she rubbed her foot on top of his head trying to smooth talk him into giving it to her – he responded by growling at her with his lips curled - this frightened her and now she is very afraid of him – even though afterward he waited outside her bedroom door almost apologetically Again – he has never bitten anyone but his owner is afraid he might Murphy needs a strong owner that will work with him and show him his proper place in the pack. We will not consider homes with children under 14 for this dog and obedience training will be a condition of adoption. Murphy is neutered and up to date on shots. DECEMBER 2009 - A FOREVER HOME Murphy has been adopted by the Murphy/Kingston Family of New York CONGRATULATIONS! |
