I'm Jessica H., the breeder behind Murphy's Standards located in Rolla, MO. Our dogs are bred for health, temperament, and intelligence. We strive to produce the best overall pets and family members. We fell in love with the breed because of their intelligence and personality. There’s hardly a better feeling than being able to share them with other families that will love them the way that we do!

A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.
