Puppies were born July 18th, MAnó whelped 5 beautiful puppies, 3 males and 2 females. Two males are black, the others are ash colored.

Puppies will be placed to active homes with interest to different dog activities, because mudis are highly active breed that won't settle on quiet life as just a house pet. The litter will have a full 3-generation FCI-pedigree. More information of the upcoming litter here >>

These puppies are all staying in Finland, we have good homes awaiting for them. We are planning a litter for summer 2009, for either Manó or Hertta. If you are interested, you may contact us for more information of our future plans.

If you are interested of a puppy: Download our puppy questionnaire - please take time and fill up and email it back at us. We appreciate if you've done your homework on the breed before contacting us, great place to start is the Mudi Club of America's breed presentation.

Mudi is intelligent, lively and easy to train, it has moderate to strong guarding instict, it enjoys taking part in different activities. Mudi adjusts easily to different environments and situations. Mudi is typical herding breed dog, it's active, lively and alert. Mudi will not settle for less active life.

Mudi has weak hunting instict, but moving objects usually catch it's intrestes and may trigger herding instint. Mudi is aware of it's own territory, and it learns easily the boundaries of the home, but for the safety of the dog, if the dog is kept free in the garden without supervision, we do advice to fence the garden so the dog can't run on the drive way.  Mudi can be a bit reserved towards strangers, though breeders have taken steps to breed the mudis to be more open and friendly to people. With the own family mudi is very affectionate. To get an open and social puppy, select puppy from parents, who are self condifent and friendly and remember to socialize it.

For it's size, mudi is very fast and agile, it reads owners body language fast and enjoys doing for example agility. Mudis have been succesfully trained for search and rescue, obedience, etc. Lot of mudis still have good herding instict, and breed is still being used as a herding dog in Hungary. Mudi has lot of capacity packed in a medium size breed. 

When concidering Mudi:

• Lively, active and alert are the three most describing words for the breed! Mudi is not a coach potato, and it needs plenty of excercise and also some "brain work", like agility, obedience training etc. to stay happy. 
• Mudi is still used also as guard dog, so it's keeping and eye on the home (and neighbourhood). Mudi uses voice to communicate, guard and herd, and sometimes barking can be a problem. Do you have time to pay attention to teach your dog silent since the beginning? If you are hyper sensitive to barking, please concider less vocal breed.
• Mudi is very attached to it's own family, and it's still used to work with it's owner for long periods of time per day. You will need to schedule quality time for your mudi, it will not enjoy spending all day alone.
• Mudi is rare outside country of origin, Hungary, so probably you won't find a breeder near to you. You might have to import the puppy from abroad. Check for the import regulations and find out about the shipping costs etc. in advance, prior to contacting breeders.
• When purchasing a mudi puppy, keep away from the internet puppy traders. Buy the puppy from reputable and ethical breeder, who can provide the health records etc. of the parents.
