Midas is the epitome of the perfect dog, with a stable balanced temperament,
incredible intelligence, gorgeous conformation, and appropriate working drive. He is
a big boned, broad Shiloh with a heart of gold.
He is by far the largest dog in our neighborhood, and everyone knows him. Because
of his calm, gentle nature, Kelsey often takes him to the coffee and news kiosk at the
ferry stop. Midas is an unofficial greeter and always a conversation starter. We have
grown accustomed to hearing, "Oh my, look at his head", and next "Look at those
feet!". Our favorite remark to date was when a group of people exited a tour bus and
one patron shouted out, "Are they walking a bear?" Since that time we've had people
guess "wolf" and most recently "Shetland pony". But my favorite reaction was the
woman who put her hand to her chest and proclaimed with tears in her eyes, "he
touches my soul." That he does.
As a male Shiloh, he is a defender of his home, and his girl Breeze. His sheer size is
enough of a deterrent, and he has earned respect in our neighborhood through his
calm, confident demeanor. Midas earned his Canine Good Citizen and Therapy Dog
International certifications.
Midas sired his first litter by Breeze in 2007 - 8 gorgeous puppies who have his
fabulous, dark pigment.
He is a breed and ISSDC champion, NAKC International Champion, multiple Best of
Breed and Best in Show winner. Midas is a 2009 NSBR Top Dog.
He is a great friend and companion and the love of our lives.
Midas is selectively available at stud.
