Murdoch, the German Shepherd for hire, is a striking, powerful dog with a bold presence and a heart full of playfulness. Raised in a family home with children and other dogs, Murdoch blends his goofy, affectionate personality with a natural protective instinct. His family actively supports this trait through weekly professional obedience and protection training, paired with daily sessions at home.

Murdoch thrives on structure and stimulation. He learns fast, responds confidently to verbal commands, and understands basic hand cues. Trained with an e-collar, he works well under pressure and responds to task-based challenges. His high food and toy drive fuels his motivation and makes advanced training enjoyable.

Murdoch specialises in security work, including attack on command, bite on command, and release on command. He demonstrates excellent control in crowd control and controlled aggression scenarios. He also performs confidently in security work demonstrations, sleeve work, and other protection tasks. His large frame, intimidating presence, and alert expression make him ideal for roles that require a protection-trained or stunt dog.

Off-duty, Murdoch channels his energy into endless play. He’s completely ball-obsessed, could chase for hours, and loves nothing more than a splash in the water. He excels in active, outdoor environments and remains calm yet focused on set.

Murdoch’s impressive looks, sharp mind, and natural drive make him a top candidate for dynamic productions, especially those requiring high-intensity action or protection sequences. While calm around strangers, Murdoch is selective with affection — unless a ball’s involved, then he’s anyone’s best friend.

Murdoch offers the full package: a loyal family companion with professional training in obedience and protection. Whether you’re filming an action sequence, a security work demonstration, or need a disciplined stunt dog, Murdoch brings unmatched presence and personality to every set.
