Description
Mad Man Murphy certainly made himself known when he arrived at the kennels. Anyone who knows Staffies will understand just how vocal they can be… Murphy is a stunning Staffordshire Bull Terrier with a lovely dark coat. He knows exactly how to use those puppy-dog eyes and has us all wrapped around his paw.
Murphy came to us after spending a few months in a home with an older dog. Unfortunately, the older dog took a dislike to him and would frequently start fights. He was placed in foster care for a few days through another rescue, but they struggled to cope after introductions were rushed and things moved too quickly.
After a few days in kennels, it’s clear that Murphy needs some guidance. We are working on building his engagement and introducing some much-needed training. He’s taking it all in his stride but, being a puppy, he’s far more interested in playing and racing around our field. He is every bit the typical Staffie—he loves playing with his tug toy, which is a great way to build engagement with his carers.
He gets on well with other dogs and could share his future home with another friendly dog. He is also sociable with dogs when out and about. We are currently working on his lead walking, crate training and impulse control. His ideal owner would be willing to continue the training we’ve started to ensure he grows into a well-rounded adult dog. Previous experience with the breed would be a bonus, but isn’t essential.
We would recommend that any children in the home are over 12, as Murphy can be a bit full-on, especially when excited. He comes in like a wrecking ball and can be quite the little fur tornado.
Murphy is in great health, he is up to date on vaccinations but he will need neutering when he is old enough.
Murphy is incredibly loving and affectionate, and all of our staff adore him. He’s a sweet, funny character and is sure to make a fantastic addition to the right home.
