All about the mudi

This is a link to the FCI standard for Mudi: 238g01-en (fci.be) 

The CKC uses the FCI standard for Mudi.

The Mudi has a very unique temperament that just enthralls anyone who gets the chance to meet one. People say Mudi are aggressive, this is not true of the breed as a whole, just like any breed there can be exceptions to the temperament standards. They are intelligent, loyal, and have a strength of character that has been bred into them over many years, this is what makes them so unique. They possess so much love and loyalty for their people, it is truly a special experience to be able to experience that love.

They are wary of strangers and strange dogs, but they quickly warm up once they see no threat. I have found Mudi to be very neutral with other dogs, they don't care about them as long as the other dogs aren't pushy.

Males:

Height is 16-18" and weigh 24-29 lbs.

Females:

Height is 15-17" and weigh 18-24 lbs.

The coat of a Mudi is curly or wavy and medium length. The face and legs should have shorter, slick hair. 

The accepted colours are:

Fawn

Black

Brown

Ash

With merle variation of all the above colours.

They are extremely easy to keep clean, any mud or dirt will fall off once dry. They do not need any special grooming, just nail trims with an occasional bath. They don't require much brushing, only when they are shedding just to keep it from getting all over the house. They shed minimally; I have found them to only shed twice a year.
