| MURPHY Murphy is a purebred male Softcoated Wheaten Terrier. His estimated DOB is 1/05 Murphy is a owner turn-in. Some information from them: Murphy is a great dog. We purchased him from a breeder as a puppy – and he has been in a very loving home. Even as a puppy he showed signs of separation anxiety. Over the past few years – his separation anxiety issues have lead him to bark excessively at people as they leave, sometimes running after them, trying to ‘nip’ at their pants leg. Often he tries to play with children – but sometimes using is mouth or jumping knocking them down. Murphy has NEVER bitten anyone – but he does show aggressive tendencies when someone is leaving…or if on leash and near another dog, or bike. That said – he is a wonderful ‘family’ dog. With my 3 kids he lets them pull his tail, dress him up…he plays with them and rolls over to let them rub his belly. I really think – we are not giving him the attention and exercise he requires to have the proper behavior/and socialization skills. He sits, shakes, goes to his bed or water when told, he is potty trained (goes outside/scratches at door when he has to go). He will take a treat from my 1 year old gently – and he knows not to touch his teeth to a hand. Please help us. We just are not good owners for him, with our current family situation. Murphy is neutered and up to date on shots. |
