Temperament

Obedient, pleasant and playful, this breed is equally courageous, protective and noisy. The Mudi has tendency to become a "one-person" dog, but will live peacefully with the rest of the family. The breed adapts well to other pets easily if raised with them from a young age.

History

The Mudi is extremely rare, even in its home country of Hungary. It was originally used for herding, guarding flocks and hunting wild boar. It is suspected the breed is so rare because herdsmen have preferred the Komondor and Puli as working dogs, although the Mudi is just as capable.
