The Mudi is a remarkable herding breed from Hungary, known for its intelligence, agility, and versatility. Originally bred for working with livestock, the Mudi remains a tireless, devoted partner—always eager to have a job to do. Whether herding sheep, guarding property, or competing in dog sports, this breed thrives when given a purpose.
Mudis have a distinctive wavy to curly coat that comes in a variety of colors, including black, brown, yellow, and merle. Their medium-sized, athletic build makes them ideal for active homes. But more than their striking looks and agility, Mudis are incredibly loyal, affectionate, and intuitive—they form strong bonds and are happiest when with their people.
By nature, the Mudi is “sensibly suspicious of strangers”, as described in the breed standard. This makes them excellent watchdogs, but it also means early and ongoing socialization is key to helping them grow into confident, well-mannered adults.
At their core, Mudis are devoted companions—loving, intelligent, and deeply connected to their families. They are also highly trainable, excelling in obedience, agility, scent work, dock diving, and more.
