• Mudi Dog Information (pdf) The Mudi is without doubt a herding dog from its toes up to the top of its head. There are great possibilities in this breed, and these are more considerable if we think about how many Mudis (or Mudi-like dogs) are working with shepherds and cattle herders in our days, even. It is very important that the modern breeding of the Mudi should not make this dog unable to work in the future. • Introduction to the Hovawart The Hovawart is a naturally beautiful dog and no part of him is exaggerated.
