Pedigree | Health Clearances

Idol (pronounced E’dohl) was bred in France by Dany Maison, and exported to Volker Riedel of Germany (des Teutones) as a young adult where he was a successful working and show dog. Later Idol was imported by Augusta Farley, Malinois du Ciel Rouge, and came to live with me in early 2001 to round out my household.

Idol was an incredibly fun dog to work, with loads of energy in the work, power, athleticism, stability, and incredible bite quality. I did not understand true compulsion to “fill the mouth” until I met Idol. He’s a dog who actually slept with a pillow in a firm full-mouth grip. (Yes, he had his own.) At the same time, he was social and a great breed ambassador–kids, adults, other dogs–all greeted with aplomb.

Idol was a phenomenal working dog, and also a really cool dog to live with.
