The Mudi is a rare herding
dog
breed from Hungary.
Appearance
Mudis usually weigh 18 to 29 pounds (8 to 13 kg) and stand 14 to 20 inches
(35.5 to 51 cm) high at the
withers. The coat is medium long and curly, commonly black, blue merle,
ashen, brown, white, or piebald.
Temperament
The Mudi is a versatile farm dog that can hunt, exterminate
rodents, and act as a
capable herding dog
and flock guardian. Although the breed is much less popular than the
better-known Puli and
Komondor breeds in its
native country, owners of the Mudi claim that he is incomparable for his
versatile talents and pleasant disposition.
