🍀Our Irish import girls strutted their stuff in the conformation ring all weekend! These puppies had their *amazing* temperaments on display the whole time, and both girls handled the busy show environment and loooong days perfectly.

🔥Nix was handled by Mariah in the conformation ring and took first in her class all three shows! This puppy is so happy and bouncy, and I just love the way she wags her tail for her exam.

🐦‍⬛Starling was handled by myself, and earned a second place in her class in the first show, then third place the next two days. As always, a big thank-you to Regerastace Mudi for these lovely girls!

😈Finally, Flicker showed off her amazing dock skills and earned FIRST place Senior division for the Mudi national! She was also the second-best jumping Mudi of the event. Her recent jumps bumped her season average to 19 '11”, which puts her in a (tied) spot for 1st place NADD Senior across all breeds. Thank you Cruzyn Mudi for this crazy, sweet, talented girl!

Thanks to the organizers for their hard work on this year’s Mudi National. We’re looking forward to returning to Greeley, Colorado next year to celebrate this amazing breed!

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.

We would also like to congratulate Dune on his first AKC Trick title! Dune, one of our Hungarian imports, spent a few months this summer in Maine with our friend Steph Tibbetts. Steph introduced Dune to cattle and goats, and helped us continue his exposure to stock and different working environments. Dune came home with a ton of confidence and a few new letters behind his name thanks to Steph.

Dune turned 2 in June and we plan to knock out his health testing this fall. He’s recently gotten back into conformation as well. We can’t say enough about this sweet boy.

Happy 3rd birthday to Flicker! Her third trip around the sun has been a blast, and Flicker has found herself with even more accomplishments.

We’re looking ahead to progressing our livestock training and land/water human remains detection training - with plenty of dock time squeezed in for our girl, of course!

She is a brilliant, talented girl and a great partner to work with. We’re so thankful to Cruzyn Mudi for our crazy girl and all the laughs she brings to each day.

💜💜💜

Regerastace Europa “Starling” showed beautifully and won Winners B***h for her first AKC points AND a major under Mr. Elizardo Valadez 🇲🇽

Regerastace Firecrown “Nix” had a blast in the BPUP ring and earned herself a Group First! The judge was absolutely tickled with her temperament and confidence.

Duckduck deserves his own post! Duck earned his HCT (herding capability test) title recently, as well. He impressed the judges with his skills and instinct at just 8 months old. Duck has shown a ton of interest in working stock since he was a small puppy, and working him has been a lot of fun already.

Big thanks to Duckduck's co-owner, Jessica, for working with him and bringing him to the trial! Duck is Thanagar Primal Howl from our October 2023 Puffin x Mahomes litter.
