Murphee's Joy a.k.a. Joy

I have been ease dropping for a long time. Since before I even got Murphy who has been with me 10 1/2 months. He is two years, three months old. Not a rescue but a show quality hopeful who, to my great fortune, did not get all the white off his nose. He is my first whippet. I fell in love with the breed quickly after meeting one. I am, was one to those who thought they were a funny looking dogs. With an aging dog, at that time I was researching my next breed. I wanted to rescue or get a "reject" so to speak. Rescued whippets are rare, in this area, so I explored other sources as well. It all worked out well.

We live with four cats and a bird in the Great Pacific Northwest. Wanted to do agility with Murphy and not encourage his chasing (having cats) with lure coursing but I am rethinking that since he lovers playing fetch. Really, just would like him to have other whippets to frolic with, and thought lure coursing would provide that. He plays with the labs next door but is intimidated around large dogs he does not know. Shy, like me. I am not into competing as much as having fun which agility would be, I think.

I am glad to have finally joined in, I was really sad when the board disappeared for a while.
