A little about them

Meet Murphy, a charming six-and-a-half-year-old Boxer/American Pitbull Terrier mix in Austin, Texas. This affectionate, curious boy has a handsome tan coat with bright white accents and weighs 65 pounds. Murphy is playful and energetic, enjoying long walks, open space, chewing bones, chasing balls, car rides, and cheese treats.

Murphy loves being near his people and thrives with patience, gentle encouragement, and a consistent routine. He can be cautious around unfamiliar sights or sounds but becomes more confident with support.

Ideal Home

Murphy would do well with an active, structured, experienced guardian who understands large, energetic breeds. A secure fenced yard or room to roam would suit him well. He enjoys companionship, playtime, shared adventures, and quiet evenings with his family.

  • Friendly with other dogs and has done well with a younger pup
  • His occasional digging adventures should be expected

Ongoing Health

Murphy is spayed/neutered and vaccinated. No diagnosed medical conditions are reported.

Training & Support

Murphy is house-trained, crate-trained, comes when called, and knows sit, stay, and come. He benefits from positive reinforcement, guidance, and continued learning opportunities.
