Mudi Puppies Blog

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.
