Mudi


Native country : Hungary

History

This breed is thought to have been developed in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Some believe it is the result of a cross between a Puli and a Spitz-type breed. The Mudi has always been used to guard and herd sheep and cattle, as well as to hunt wild boar.

Description

This rustic, hardy, lively, vigorous dog is always on the alert, rather vocal and has a seemingly unlimited supply of energy. Docile and affectionate, the mudi bonds to only one person and must receive firm training. He needs someone in control who can give him a mission or a job to do. Having a tendency to bite, this dog is respected for its ability to guard the herd and the home. His keen sense of smell makes him a good dog for hunting boar.

Advice

This dog is not made for living indoors. He needs space and exercise. Daily brushing is required.

Function

Herder (cattle). Hunting dog (large game). Guard dog. Pet.
