Mudi Puppies Blog

As with all dogs, training a Mudi should begin when they are only puppies. With only 100 years of domestication in the history of a Mudi, the Mudi may sometimes be shy and therefore, positive reinforcement is always the better option, instead of reprimanding them. These dogs can be sensitive, and think of their owners as more of a friend than a master. This can be seen as both a positive and a negative aspect of owning a Mudi. Because they see you as a friend, they will be 100% loyal and devoted. But because they often don’t see their owner as an owner, obeying orders may be a problem. However, it is up to you to use these traits to your advantage.

They will definitely learn better when treated positively and fairly. This breed needs to feel that they can trust the person who is training them and once there is trust, a Mudi will do anything to please his master, his owner…his family, and ultimately his friend. He is happy to do jobs, and doesn?t require assistance to do them, once he knows what to do. So be fair and loving with their breed. And don’t hesitate to give them jobs. They love it, since they are working dogs!

This rare breed of Sheepdog originates from Eastern Europe. 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 most common colors of a Mudi Sheepdog are the all-black and the colored variety. 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.

First of all, I think it is important to highlight the pronunciation of the word “Mudi”. It is a Hungarian word and when pronounced in English it would be pronounced: “Moody” and not “Muddy” as some would believe. The meaning of the word has been lost through the ages, since this breed of sheepdog is one of the oldest dog breeds in Hungary…and also the rarest. The meaning of the word Mudi has been lost in translation, sadly.

If you happened to find my Blog about the Mudi dog, then you are also obviously a fan! Welcome dear Reader. I hope to create a Blog, that is dedicated to this Hungarian breed. It is not so well-known, and it requires more attention I believe. It is a beautiful and unique breed. You will find interesting and infomative information about this Eastern European dog breed.
