More: Murphy is the fourth retriever we have owned, and is definitely the most energetic. He is a fanatic about retrieving both on land and in any body of water he can find. He was born in Maine and is fully acclimatized to all the forms of extreme weather we have here. He gets along really well with any other dogs he has had the opportunity to spend time with. He spent his early years with Cody, our other Black Lab who died this past year. They were incredible to watch together.
