Murphy originally came to Kiesha Crawmer, imported from Canada thanks to Penny Wilmot and Catherine O'Brien.  Kiesha leased our girl Daisy to breed to Murphy and ever since we have been involved in Murphy's life!  We often took him to race meets and lure coursing trials and we helped finished some of his titles, including his ORC and FC titles.  While Murphy lived with Kiesha he produced 2 beautiful litters and then 3 puppies for us... so Murphy has been a big part of our lives and now he has retired here at Shannon Down.  He might get out occasionally and strut his stuff on the coursing field and race track but for the most part he is just a quiet couch potato.  As a younger fella, Murphy distinguished himself in extremely tough competition at the WRA/NOTRA Nationals in 2003.  He placed 10th in NOTRA earning 1/4 ORC point and then placed 26th in WRA the following day.  He is over half way to his WRCh, pointed towards his RCh and LCM pointed - but now that he is a couch potato, we won't push him for those titles.  Check out Murphy's breeding record to view some of his kids we are proud of!
