Meet “Murphy”
May’s centerfold is dedicated to this spectacular Dane who shows that there is truly life after retirement!
During Murphy’s career in the ring he finished in 24 shows and was #16 in Breed points in 2004.
Life for Murphy started out as being, what everyone thought would be, a pet puppy. Just goes to show you that life has some unexpected twists.
When he was a year old, a suggestion was made that he ought to be shown. His second weekend in the ring, he won a three-point major and had all of his minor points in less than two months. He was then shown one more weekend receiving a 5 point major and finished in June of 2003.
Murphy has been shown on a limited basis since 2004. He has gone to the Nationals in 2005, 2006, and 2007 and has made the first cut every year.
He also won A Specialty Best of Opposite Sex in November of 2007, from the Veterans Class over top-ranked specials!!!
... and most important of all, watching his babies grow,
awaiting the day that they too will follow in his footsteps.
