Wow! What a beautiful breed 😍 looking similar to the Puli (croation sheepdog) that is in Bluey, our own pup

Welcome to our newest friend, the Hungarian Mudi 👋
From 1 July 2025, the Mudi will become an officially recognised Kennel Club breed.

The Hungarian Mudi is a rare Hungarian herding breed with a rich history. Though references to Mudi-like dogs date back to the 18th century, it wasn't until 1936 that the breed was formally identified and is known for its distinctive traits: a curly coat, erect ears, and exceptional intelligence.

Dorit Powell from The Hungarian Mudi Club in the United Kingdom said: “The Mudi is razor-sharp, thinks independently, and is an affectionate, fiercely loyal family member. They are suitable for most types of living, as long as they are provided with a job or similar mental and physical stimulation and their human companions can accept their breed-characteristic vocal and herding behaviour.

Did you know we can also water plants while you're away?! This client also let us help ourselves to any ripe strawberries! What a fab haul of red and white strawberries!

We actually rarely walk separate household dogs together and you may wonder why? Because naturally it would be easier on our legs if we could match dogs up and walk multiple together. We could expand our client intake and it would be a win win for all involved. The dogs could make friends, socialise and have a different sensory experience that perhaps you aren't able to offer.

And the simple reason we don't... we just don't have that many compatible dogs. Our priority is always to make sure your dog is comfortable and happy on their walks. Unfortunately a majority of the dogs we walk are rescues that have come from trauma and so it just wouldn't be possible to match these that need to take sometimes months just to trust ourselves.

However.... if you do wish your friendly and sociable dog to have a companion walk, feel free to discuss your needs with us and we can take a look and see if we have any dogs that would be compatible 🙂
