Murphy orignally came in to Battersea in 2005 as a stray, he was then rehomed but sadly returned in 2008 as his owners split up. Murphy is a loving and scatty Lurcher who will make a fun addition in an experienced home.
Like many Lurchers or sighthounds Murphy has a high chase and hunt drive around other animals, livestock or rapid moving objects, e.g. joggers, cyclists etc. Due to this Murphy will need experienced rescue dog owners or people that have owned sighthounds before and dealt with similar issues.
Murphy already knows some basic commands, travels well in a car and was housetrained in his previous home. In his last home Murphy was a bit of an escape artist if given the chance so will need a secure house and garden with high fencing.
Murphy can be left for short periods, if left too long he can become anxious and stressed. Murphy is a real sweetie with a sensitive Lurcher side at times, he is not keen on the rain or the cold and can get frightened by thunder or fireworks.
