Description
The Mudi is a dizzyingly intelligent and highly energetic herding dog, a canine whirlwind demanding a job and reveling in activity. They possess an almost telepathic connection with their chosen people, often anticipating commands before they're even voiced. This isn't a dog for the faint of heart or couch potato; Mudis thrive on mental stimulation and physical exertion, excelling in dog sports and outdoor adventures. Without proper engagement, their cleverness can turn mischievous. They're quick to learn, fiercely loyal, and their enthusiasm for life is utterly infectious, making every day an exciting, albeit busy, partnership.
