Introducing, promoting and representing a Hungarian herding dog breed. I was born in Hungary, but life brought me to Chicago many years ago. They affectionate.

I always wanted a big family and dogs. Being Hungarian, I decided to get a Hungarian vizsla for my family. We did not bring him from Hungary, we bought him in the US Unfortunatelly 4 years later we lost him to cancer. Before he died we added a second vizsla and shortly after adopted one. Love this breed, but I saw and heared from others about the many challenges the overbreeding causes...allergies

and cancer again...we lost our second V at age 11. Our last V is 10 now and has some medical issues. A couple of years ago one of my sons showed me a photo of a Hungarian dog, a Mudi, a cifra/black merle and asked me to get one. After a long research and waiting for the right puppy, we picked up our first Mudi from Hungary, 3 years ago. I fell in love with the breed. I had a lot to learn, I was never into herding, agility and never showed a dog in a ring. Covid crossed out plans first, but we finally got to attend some shows and earned some titles. Once I fell in love with them, I decided that I will try to start a small scale breeding program, where my dogs will come from Hungary, or cross bred with dogs imported from Hungary. What the most important for me is a healthy, balanced dog. Doing all the medical tests necessary, getting all the DNA testing done, doing my research on new pups and their pedigree, inbreeding, trying to rule out possible issues in their line before mathing them up. During this journey I met many hungarian breeders and learned a lot. I have started slow and in no rush. I attend shows with my dogs, not many, and not pushing my dogs to attend just to get more ribbons and points. In my eyes a champion is a dog that you take home and she is the perfect match for your family, healthy, balanced, loves you, loyal, and allowed to do what she or he loves to do. Yes, a mudi is not for everybody. You will hear that a lot. My first 2 mudis are not so big on shows, they love fisbee and ball, water sports and racing. They love walks, runs and games. My female, Csillag has a very high drive to herd and guard, but also loves the water, loves to learn new things, which she can achieve in minutes. She communicates with "talking buttons" with me, telling me what she needs. She is very vocal and loves to talk back. She is loud as a real mudi. She is also loves to be bossy and I need to work with her harder. She is a Covid quarantine pup, got stuck in Hungary and could not socialize her as much as I hoped due to the stay at home order. She is much better now. Once she meets a dog she just needs a little time and she is ready to play. She loves humans. And both my dogs love our guinea pigs. She has many generations behind her, still within the suggested inbreeding line. My male, Anubis, is not as vocal, but a great guard dog. He can play frisbee for hours or retreive a ball and drop it right into your hand. He loves agility, heights and wants to please you all the time. In his line many are therpahy dogs. We are working on some of those qualities. Being of Hungarian origin my dogs understand English and Hungarian. Those call words in Hungarian help in crowded, loud situations with too many commands heard in English. I have travelled with my male back to Hungary recently, and attended a dog show there to see how he does, and he did very well. We hit the big city, visited farms, walked among many people, rode in the car with, wherever I went...He is calm, he does not bark at dogs on walks. He is social. He is a bit on the tall side after his grandfather, but still within the limits of a tall mudi. He carries many colors and even ash. Hi is not a 3 gen dog, as some documents were not preserved well on his Dam's side, but he is still a great quality dog and can do many things with him and would not give up that quality over some ranking due to missing papers. His line was not bred a lot, so this is a very clean and healthy line. As my goal is to import mudis from Hungary rather than overbreed them here, to freshen the blood lines I will be connecting with a shipper in Hungary who has over 10 years of experience with shipping and over 30 years working and breeding dogs. We will connect new and experienced mudi owners, who are in need to find the right puppy, the right breeder and if needed help with the proper paperwork, Hungarian language translations, and to make sure they get the dog they wanted....Sadly there are many out there who take advantage and trick the buyers, we would like to help avoiding that.

2nd litter planned for this year... if you can't find the puppy you are looking for in my planned B litter, I am sure you will find it here.
" In the Shadows" C Litter
Hershey and Csillag will have AKC and UKC, fully registered puppies, if all planning goes well.. Expecting black puppies with a mix of sass, goofness, ears of a guard dog, heart of a loyal dog, long tails, amazing fur, deep and sharp vocals, many colors to carry, many mudi-standard- traits and a ton if inteligence. This will be Csillag's 2nd litter. She had 5 amazing puppies in 2023. Encourage to reach out to owners of those puppies with any questions, and of course, to me.
At this time I am taking applications and reservations.

****STARS ARE BORN****
https://form.jotform.com/250118447324149
HERE WE GO...two litters are planned for Spring 2025 in our kennel, Szomorú Fűz Mudi Kennel "Weeping Willow"
Our foundation dogs are imported from Hungary, my home country, and health tested either in the US or in Hungary or both. (Reach out to me for individual health certificates if needed.)
Our Stud, Anubis, is 1 generation, registered with AKC and UKC, proved himself to be producing amazing puppies from his 2022 litter. He has competed in Fastcat and Weight pull, also tried many other sports like lure cruising, disc, agility, racing, dock, herding. He is one hell of a guardian dog with great insticts in different situations. He has travelled back to Hungary 2x lately and attended a mudi specialty and other dog shows, each time leaving with a new title. He has shown how he can handle the suburbs, the flight, a big busy city, the mountains, lakes and being around of many other dogs with causing great distractions. He is the one known to walk along fences and other dogs trying to eat him alive and not react. He keeps his cool. DOnt take me wrong...he can and has protected himself if needed...He is a big flirt with girls, not just mudi..LOL...He is the only one from 7 sibling being bred, so this line is great and I like to say pretty healthy and low risk in all, which is great. Adding 1-2 gen dogs to the US lines is what we need and part of my program. Just because you can't play in one ring, everything else is possible with this dog!! His puppies have proven the same with many titles, especially in sports, but not without UKC championships. He is available as a stud here in the US and in Europe with frozen semen. He carries many colors, which makes him even more unique. His line has disc champions, theraphy dogs...which 2 of his pups inherrited. One is stopping anxiety attacks for her owner by laying on top her, to keep her calm, alerting upcoming attacks before they happen, and alerts for seizures for their daughter. The other puppy just need a special vest on and he is becoming a calm service dog "in training".
Our bitch is Luna, also from Hungary. She is full gen, fully registered with AKC and UKC. This girl is a go-go-girl, always up to something, always doing sporty things, acts like a real tomboy. She cares less about staying clean or being quiet, she wants action. Her most favorite is the dock, but she will do it all. Loves it all. Even she is my vocal one, she knows how to turn off the switch and be calm in the ring. We concentrated more on sport than shows in the last 2 years, so she is just shy of being a UKC CH, slowly we are getting back in the ring, but sports will always come first. She was a Best in Show Puppy in UKC, then earned 1st and 2nd group places as a puppy, at 4 months in AKC, more group placement recently in UKC, IDS champion, DCat in Fastcat...with all her craziness she did suffer a knee injury on her left knee, which she did theraphy for months and was labeled as Patella 1 by the ortho vet. She will sit out crazy racing and will eventually get her knee fixed, if it would get worse. Don't think for a minute that she can be stopped, even with this. She will yell at you if you sit too long. She can't wait to do something else next. She has those tight curls I love. She is sweet, loves people. She also loves to hang out and chill with family. She has the standard dark pigmentation, the dark eyes, lips, nose you want in a black mudi.
I am excited to see how this pairing goes.
I had some people reach out to get one of these puppies, once available.
I am TAKING APPLICATIONS and RESERVATIONS now. The link below is the application I need you to fill out and reach out to me to discuss reservation or waiting list. I know many have color preferences, but your lifestyle will determin the puppy you get. Ask the owners of my first litter...what they asked for, they got...they are all happy...I am more than happy to connect you with the owners to ask questions. I am open of what I have to offer and why I do what I do, the way I do it.
Please share post if you think somebody might be interested.... 😉

A friend of mine has a 1,5 year old female mudi available, imported from Hungary. Her name is Halo.
She is looking to place her due to a heartbreaking medical situation in her family.
I have seen this puppy as she arrived with her sister, later visited her in IN She has a great family.
She is on the smaller side, gets along well with people and dogs, she has been trained, she lives and spends her time at the family's training and boarding facility. Roams free, but follows her owner everywhere.
Attaching some photos and pedigree...a video in the comments...feel free to reach out to owner, Trisha Blackburn, breeder or to me with any questions.
I am sure vet exam can be done if you ask owner, to guarantee health.
She is a sweet girl in an unfortunate situation, breaking the family's heart to let go.
Let help finding a good place for her.
