Murphy has a very high energy level, as all 1 year old Airedales do. He needs a lot of exercise,  at least 1 to 2 hours a day.

Murphy is very sweet, and has had some obedience training,  which , for the most part he considers an academic subject rather than a skill for practical application .

Murphy likes to play rough with other dogs and would not be a suitable companion for small or old dogs or other small animals. Murphy has not lived with children.  He would probably be fine with older well trained children, but would not be suitable for a family with young children living in the home.

Murphy belonged to an Airedale-experienced man who thought that he had the time for a young Airedale.  Unfortunately, due to his job and travel, he had to leave Murphy far too often and realized that it was not fair to Murphy.

Murphy is a great young Airedale who will need a fenced yard to run in, people who are home most of the time,  have Airedale experience, will be firm and consistent and have the time to continue his training.
