They can simply be called “Mudi” and in Latin, they are Canis Ovilis Fenyesi. These dogs are strong and courageous enough to face and take down a wild boar. They have the versatility to act as farm dogs to chase and kill vermin, similar to the Komondor but not as popular. However breed owners swear by this breeds abilities.

A Mudi can be identified with a pointed nose and triangular erect ears. Their coats are of 2 inches in length, dense and can be curly or wavy. Colors are usually in black, red, gray, brown and fallow.  A rare find is the Cifra or Blue-Merle. These dogs make excellent watch dogs and protectors. The breed can stand at heights between 15 to 19 inches from the withers and weigh anywhere between 18 to 19 pounds.

What is amazing is his rare and unique silvery-grey color! Even amongst Mudik, black is the most common color, and a silvery-grey Mudi is always a prized possession, for any serious Mudi fan and owner!

From Hungary. It is found mostly on the Eastern side of Hungary where a lot of farmland can be found. Sheep farmers keep this sheepdog, since it has a keen sense of smell, high intelligence and has been a flock-guard for centuries.

The colored can be seen in the picture below. It has elements of all shades of gray. Black markings and/or black spots are visible on these colored Mudis. A rather colorful dog, if you ask me! Far from thinking that this dog is going gray….it is born this color and stays this color too! Almost all colors are acceptable. Only the ones with tri-colors of black, brown and gray are not acceptable; as well as a white coat with large arbitrarily juxtaposed spots of black. Often on top of the head and at the end of the limbs a slight shade of reddish-mahogany can be found.
