Free Mudi Health and Breed Concerns: -Skin problems such as itchy, dry skin and loss of hair in patches, nails breaking, possibly either climate, diet or not enough sunshine related -Wheat allergy seems to bother some dogs, avoid dog chows that incorporate this into their food, or feed the raw food diet (see Links page) -Hip Dysplasia is not common, but is in the breed, be sure to get proof of a passing HD score on both parents of any puppy you plan to purchase from a known Health Registry such as the ones listed above. If the dogs are 2 years of age and have not been checked you should assume that they have either failed or the breeder is not interested in promoting hip health and choose another breeder. -Albinism, both pink and blue eyed versions, extremely rare -Cataracts and other eye diseases are extremely rare but have occurred -Some elbow and patella problems have been seen but they are very rare -Not accepted colors born into litters, rare, but does occur -Temperament issues are rare and are usually due to improper socialization and training, be sure to ask for temperament test scores on your puppies parents and a record of proof -Barking can be an issue, but the Mudi can also be taught not to bark too -Incorrect bite (not scissors bite), wry bite, missing teeth, extra teeth, fused teeth and missing testicles are rare but do occur, however missing teeth, extra teeth and fused teeth are becoming more of a problem, make sure both parents have full and correct dentition -Rarely, ears will not stand up, tails will not carry over the back, the fur will be short or straight, faces and fronts of legs will have longer hair, the height will go well over or under the limits, the eye color or pigment color will be incorrect Please
