Midas has been very easy to assimilate into our home.  He is housetrained and kennel trained.  All we have to do is say kennel and he runs to his crate.  He is very quiet when confined in the crate. We did find out that if another dog is not with him in the fenced yard, and we are out of sight he will try to dig out.  He is a mover, and is in a constant trot mode with his nose to the ground.  He comes at a run when called and will come to a sit in front of you if asked.  I love his intense gaze into your eyes when he is being petted.  And he loves that!  If given the opportunity he will slither into your lap and lay there for as long as you pet him.  Ok, so I gave him that opportunity, but he is so sweet about it I couldn’t help myself.  He ignores our cats unless they run, then he gives chase.  But returns to you and leaves the cat alone if you call him.  He gets along with all dogs and people.  I think he could be an awesome obedience or agility dog, and therapy would be an option too.  He would make anyone a fantastic companion.  Please consider Midas for your family addition.
