This boy has lots of character!
He LOVES to cuddle.
He is very clear about his likes and dislikes, and may become quite obstinate when asked to do something he has no desire to do.
He may become quite vocal when he is in pursuit of something he wants, and even more so if he is denied what it is he’s after.
He enjoys the company of men, women and children, but may become overly excitable around men and children.
Murphy enjoys playing with other dogs but may be a bit dominant with some.
He is motivated by food and affection, training should be positive, low-key and consistent.
Has lots of love to give, and relishes any opportunity to be involved in family activities.

Murphy would be best suited in a home where people are around for a large portion of the day.
He would need someone that is able to commit to regular training and exercise.
Murphy loves to go for walks but he is best suited to an indoor lifestyle.
He has a low tolerance for extreme weather conditions.
A fenced yard is highly recommended.
Experience with the Boston Terrier breed is an asset.
He can live with another dog, but one that can tolerate his level of energy and ignores his sometimes less-appealing behaviours is preferred.
Murphy would need his new owners to strictly enforce his dietary requirements, and provide any means of relieving his allergy discomfort, including, veterinary attention and medications, if necessary.
