Mudi Breed Description

Introduction

Also known as the Hungarian Mudi, these herdsman's dogs were all classified together until the 1930s when the Mudi was separated from the Puli and Pumi. These dogs are rare, even in their native Hungary. Mudis have a pleasant disposition and make obedient and playful companions. They are highly intelligent, courageous and are afraid of nothing, even wild boar. They are obedient and good with children when raised with them. The coat is dense and wavy, about 2" long, with glossy hair that forms tufts. Colors include black, white, red, brown, grey, bread-pale, fallow and a very rare color called "cirfa" (blue-merle). These dogs need lots of exercise. They weigh 18 to 29 lbs. and stand 14 to 20" at the shoulders.
