We received Dune’s OFA results - excellent hips and passing/normal elbows, shoulder, patella, and eyes! We also check spines on our dogs, and he does have one transitional vertebrae (not uncommon in the breed currently), but overall we are absolutely thrilled with these results!

Dune will be available for stud to select females beginning in 2025. Our current plans for him include finishing his AKC Championship, and continuing his training on livestock. Dune has experience working sheep, goats, and cattle and has fantastic stock sense and beautiful natural covering skills.

It doesn’t really feel like autumn in the south, but we couldn’t let the fall color go to waste! These gorgeous black Mudis just pop against the leaves.

Aren’t Dune and Starling looking lovely these days?

Thanks to Gentry Photography for the portraits 🍁

Maturity is looking so, so good on this boy 🤩 Duckduck is just over a year old and we are absolutely thrilled with him.

Duck has been learning disc and agility, and is tearing up the barnhunt ring, too! His mom Jessica has been working hard to teach Duck “all the things” and he loves every minute of it.

Duckduck is Thanagar Primal Howl, from our Puffin x Mahomes 2023 litter. He lives in West Columbia, SC and is co-owned with Jessica Kelly.

We’re so excited to have Jackdaw’s health testing results! He’s officially fully tested, with ✨excellent✨ hips and passing/normal results for the rest! He also had OFA spine (normal) and his CAER exam (normal) was completed this morning. He will have his CHIC # once eyes are mailed in.

We had a wonderful weekend in Doswell, VA! Dune, Starling, and Phoenix showed in the Middle Peninsula Kennel Club of Virginia shows.

🐦‍🔥 Phoenix missed out on picture day, but she had a lot of fun charming the judges and won first in her puppy class over competition both Saturday and Sunday. Her biggest struggle is being still and not kissing the judge during her exam, and we’re certainly not complaining about that!

🌊 Dune took reserve on Saturday, but on Sunday under judge Lydia Coleman Hutchinson he was awarded Winners Dog, Best of Winners, and Best Opposite S*x! This secured his second major and earned him 4 more points toward his CH.

🐦‍⬛ Starling won her class and then took Winners Bitch each show, and on Saturday, judge Donald Sturz, Jr. awarded Star Best of Winners! She took home her second and third majors, and 8 CH points.

We’re so proud of these Mudis, and very thankful to everyone who helped lend a hand this weekend in the ring. Each judge and steward was beyond kind, patient, and helpful.

Today, we wish a VERY happy first birthday to our Arcane Champions litter!! These Puffin x Mahomes puppies are all up to awesome things.

Thanagar Cease & Desist “Nebula” lives in North Carolina and is training in disc, flyball, and more! She’s a fantastic breed ambassador and a delightfully happy girl.

Thanagar Chaos Storm “Vortex” is in Florida with his Akekal Mudi family! He’s busy learning dock diving, agility, flyball, and conformation, and having a blast with it all.

Thanagar Pop Blossom “Guilty” lives in Northern Ireland with Regerastace Mudi. She’s settled in well to her new life, and has been having fun showing and representing the Mudi breed across Northern Ireland and the UK. She’s obsessed with children like her mother!

Thanagar Timewinder “Endor” is a New York boy. He enjoys hiking, swimming, and exploring, and is training with his mom in agility with plans for even more sports next year.

Thanagar Primal Howl “Duckduck” lives in South Carolina. He’s a great family dog, and loves to train and perform. Duckduck is currently working on dock diving, agility, barnhunt, disc, and conformation, and he also has a herding title under his belt!

The best is yet to come for these Pufflings. Congratulations to everyone for your amazing accomplishments in the first year, we’re so proud! HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🎉

Great work!

And we're back again with another HUGE congratulations - last weekend, Lily and Strix earned their AKC Grand Championship!

We are so incredibly proud of these two ladies for achieving Thanagar's first GCH. Strix continues to epitomize the beauty and versatility our breed is known for.

Watch out for this amazing team - they are unstoppable!

Our puppies enjoyed a trip to the farm yesterday to meet the lambs! They’re 7 weeks old now and all headed to their new homes next week.

We saw lots of good instinct in the pasture! It was a great, positive experience for the babies.

As always, a huge thanks to Gentry Photography for capturing our Mudi puppies doing all the things, and to Maple Grove Farm in Denton for hosting us.

Our final litter of 2024 has been confirmed via ultrasound, and we are very excited to welcome puppies mid-November from Puffin and Crash!

This is a selective and purposeful linebreeding on Puffin and Crash’s maternal pedigree. We LOVE our three girls from this line, and we expect a litter of consistent and typey Mudis with lovely temperaments and excellent structure. Both show and breeding prospects are likely, so please reach out early if you feel you may want a puppy with full registration.

Puffin is a beautiful, happy, social Mudi girl who excels with her Junior Handler. Her previous litters have produced fantastic family pets, disc dogs, herding dogs, and show prospects. Crash is extremely versatile and titled in multiple sports already, and he is very social and stable. Both these dogs have OFA CHIC numbers (including excellent hips), and clear genetic panels.

Puppies are due mid-November and will go home in January. Pickup is available in Missouri or North Carolina (Missouri is preferred). This litter may include black, brown, and merle of both, as well as full tails and natural bobs. The genetic COI will be 14%.

ADOPTED!!

This is Monty, our foster Mudi! He’s a one year old neutered male who is looking for a forever family of his own.

Monty was rescued from an “oops” situation in Virginia along with his siblings. He is not related to our breeding program, but we stepped in to help our community and keep Monty from ending up in a shelter or worse. Monty missed out on socializing as a youngster, but he’s a super smart guy and has made huge strides in his few months in foster care.

Monty needs a patient adopter, and preferably someone with herding breed experience who can continue helping him become the best version of himself. Monty LOVES playing frisbee and is very good at it after just a few “lessons.” He is crate trained and good with other dogs. Introducing him to strange humans should be done slowly, but once he trusts someone he’s your buddy forever.

Please share Monty and help us find him a place to spend the rest of his happy life! If interested, shoot us a DM here on the page. Monty is located at our farm in central NC. He is neutered and fully vetted, and has a small rehoming fee.

Brag post of the day: HUGE congratulations to Katie and Goldfinch, who showed in the UKC Altered class recently and took home Altered BEST IN SHOW!! Finch may not be in our breeding program any longer, but she's an amazing breed ambassador and a true gem of a Mudi. Katie has worked hard with this sweet blondie and they have an amazing relationship.

Great work, Katie & Finch! We're so proud!

Goldfinch is Hungarian import ✨ UKC CH Királytanyai Hush ✨

Special video drop to brighten your day! We begin introducing our puppies to stock at 5 weeks old, starting with call ducks. At this age, we’re not evaluating skill, but assessing each puppy’s interest, willingness to engage, how long they stay engaged, and how they respond/recover from a startle or unexpected result. Our puppies meet different livestock multiple times between 5 and 8 weeks old. This video shows each puppy’s first introduction to the ducks. We definitely have some standouts already! Swift x Baza “Swifties” Litter DOB 8/27/2024

Nebula, a Puffin x Mahomes daughter born October 2023, also got to play at Quicksilver last weekend! She played 4WayPlay and pairs games. We are lucky to have some of the absolute best puppy owners for our Mudis. Big shout out to Diana and Patrick for their hard work with Nebula! #TeamThanagar

#TeamThanagar tore up the astroturf at Quicksilver Canine this past weekend! Regerastace Firecrown “Nix” debuted with her co-owner, Rebecca, and earned their first UpDog Challenge points in 4WayPlay and Throw N Go! Way to go Nix and Rebecca 🔥 we love to see that handler focus and natural retrieve!! Nix is not yet six months old but she loves to play any game she’s asked to. She’s a spicy, smart little nugget with excellent environmental stability- big thanks to Regerastace Mudi in Ireland for this great puppy. Nix is Baza x Relic, born in February 2024.

Congratulations to Jessica and Duckduck on their Novice Barnhunt title! This 8 month old Mudi has really excelled in Barnhunt. Great work, team! Duckduck is Thanagar Primal Howl (Puffin x Mahomes 2023)

Regerastace Firecrown Sheep Intro

It’s no secret that our Mudi breeding program focuses on producing talented, reliable working dogs. Phoenix works just as hard as her sire, Baza, and we expect amazing things from this tiny firecracker! Phoenix’s first time on sheep at ~13 weeks old.

Dune has been learning on the job and we’re stoked about all the progress he is making in a short time. So far, he’s really having a great time with the dairy cows! It’s so cool to watch these dogs blossom in the environments they were designed for. Bugacpuszta Heron “Dune”

The puppies got in on the action, too! They are only 10 weeks old, so we keep things short and relaxed, and let them build confidence. This is Warwick (available) and Neeko working together and separately.

We’re getting 2024 off on the right paw - working green dogs and getting them ready for some spring trials! Dune and Flicker both looked great during their training sessions.

When you need your foster Mudi to look cute in his “adopt me” photos, you spend entire training sessions on “EARS UP!” 🦊 Asher is looking for his forever family and is ready to go! #mudidog #mudi #hungarianmudi #mudirescue #adoptme

SOLD! Thanks to all who shared 💗 Kelsier has left for his perfect family! We’re still searching for the perfect sport/working home for Kelsier. He’s got a lot of GO, but his 🧬 gives him excellent handler focus and a great off switch. Kelsier is pushy and demanding like many Mudis - he wants to be a partner in crime and is looking for someone who has plans for lots of adventures. Kelsier is vaccinated, microchipped, and goes home with limited AKC registration. Best for agility, disc, SAR, herding, or other active jobs. [email protected]

We get asked often about Mudis and barking. When we say, “Mudis are vocal,” we definitely mean more than just your average bark! Nightjar took the time to compose and perform this musical number to demonstrate just what we mean by our talkative Mudi dogs. Thanks Mariah for this hilarious video.
