The Mudi is a Hungarian herding dog. It is hard working, a competitive performance dog, but is not over active and will happily rest at your feet when not needed for duty. It is an intelligent, adaptable, athletic and human centric breed that requires intensive socialization during its first year with people, dogs and activities. The Mudi's beauty lies mostly in its alert and expressive face and its variety of colors. The breed is odorless and does not require extensive grooming. The Mudi is the true "Can Do" breed that still works in Hungary and now in America too.
