Character
The Mudi is highly intelligent and makes an excellent working dog, watchdog, or family pet. They are strong, courageous, and will take on anyone or anything that they believe is attacking their family. They are loving and gentle- but they tend to bond with one particular person and can become needy. The Mudi is wary of strangers. They are not dog-aggressive, and non-canine pets are safe with them as long they have been raised together from puppyhood. They should also be socialized with children from a young age. . The Mudi is a barkers.

General Health

History
Until the 1930s, Hungarian herdsmen classified all their dogs together. A Dr Dezso Fenyesi separated the Mudi from the Puli and Pumi breeds around this time, however, and indeed the Mudi's official name is Canis Ovilis Fenyesi. However, the Mudi has always been rare- the Puli and Komondor were more popular as working dogs. Nevertheless, the Mudi is a versatile breed, and can be used as flock guardian, sheep or cow herder, guard dog, to hunt vermin, or simply as a companion.
Maintenance
The Mudi is an average shedder. Comb or brush once a week to remove dead hairs.
Ideal Environment
Although the Mudi can live in an apartment if necessary, it is really not suited to such a confined space. They need room to run and play, and need a large yard, as well as frequent walks. They can live outdoors.
