Midas is our "Big Love". He is a big boned, broad Shiloh with a heart
of gold. He possesses a calm, stable, loving temperament.
He is by far the largest pet in our neighborhood, and everyone knows
him. Because of his sweet, 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".
Midas is great with small children and is extremely gentle with my
mother who is at our home frequently.
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 NAKC International Champion, multiple Best of Breed and Best
in Show winner. He is a great friend and companion and the love of
our lives.
Midas is available for stud and is featured on the ISSDC
stud page.
