I saw this posted on a dog friend’s page and though I’m not familiar with this particular trainer, her comments in this video are spot on. Particularly in a breed like the Mudi, their genetic predispositions, inherited traits and instincts, are definitely something that owners and prospective puppy buyers need to consider thoughtfully and prepare to address with each new Mudi that joins the family.

Too often I get the “yeah, yeah, yeah, I know they bark but they’re just a dog.” Or, “all dogs need exercise, I get it.” What they don’t understand is that the breed makes a difference, that meeting a Mudi’s needs for physical and mental stimulation are not fulfilled by playing fetch in the backyard, which may be perfectly fine for a less driven or less thoughtful breed.

Please consider the information and advice from
your breeder carefully and thoughtfully. What works for many other breeds is dangerously detrimental to the Mudi. Handing a puppy to strangers as “socialization” will likely build distrust in the puppy’s mind, at a time when they really need to be building confidence and trust in their new owner. Pushing a Mudi puppy to accept treats from a stranger is putting pressure on that puppy that they may not be ready for, again creating a lack of confidence and trust in their owner who isn’t acting in their puppy’s best interest. Everyone has training advice, but not all of that advice, and sometimes none of it, takes into consideration the specific needs of a breed such as the Mudi. Peer pressure is real, even as adults. But you are your puppy’s only advocate and you need to do what’s best for your puppy. Avoid comparing your Mudi puppy’s reactions to the outgoing Sporting breed puppies in class, or the tenacious Terrier and Toy breed puppies that have no awareness of their tiny size and want to take on the world. Your Mudi puppy will most likely want to observe his surroundings and those in it. The puppy will find it easier to attempt new skills if he feels safe and at a distance from the other bouncy and loud puppies. That’s ok and to be expected. Protect your Mudi puppy from being overwhelmed and from having negative experiences and in time you will have a Mudi companion that will be by your side through just about anything. But it takes time, thoughtful planning and a devotion to what’s truly best for your Mudi pup in every situation.

This popped up in my memories today. Beacon was 10 years old when he earned his RAE. He was my first Mudi and the beginning of such an adventure!

This made me want to read The Little Prince.

“It's madness
to hate all roses
because you got scratched with one thorn,
to give up all dreams
because one of them didn't come true,
to give up all attempts
because one of them failed.

It's folly to condemn all your friends
because one has betrayed you, to no longer believe in love
just because someone was unfaithful
or didn't love you back,
to throw away all your chances to be happy
because something went wrong.

There will always be another opportunity,
another friend,
another love,
a new strength.

For every end,
there is always a new beginning.....

And now here is my secret,
a very simple secret:
It is only with the heart
that one can see rightly;
what is essential is invisible to the eye."

~ Antoine de Saint-Exupéry,
The Little Prince 🤴💛❤️

Delta’s litter is 5 weeks old and enjoying some fresh air between rain and wind storms. This is such a fun age. They are playing with toys, which get changed often to keep them interested and challenged. Cuddling puppies is the best!🐾💗

I have the best puppy owners!! Jill Distler surprised co owner Zachary Weire with this beautiful ad in Dog News just minutes before Rue enters the ring at Westminster!

Eye certification exams have been on my mind for months! Today I was finally able to have 6 of my Mudis examined and all 6 passed with “normal” eyes!
The clinic was held at my vet’s hospital and organized by the Five Valleys Kennel Club. The exams were prepaid to ensure that enough dogs would participate to make it financially feasible for the canine ophthalmologist to travel from WA to MT for the weekend. 70 dogs were scheduled for eye exams today with another 20 scheduled for tomorrow.
The following dogs now have current eye certifications; 5/11/24
Irhaberki Kovasz - Kona
Twisted Acres Migration - Drake
Prince Triton El Reino De Kori - Triton
Flyaway Delta - Delta
Twisted Acres Yellow Brick Road to Flyaway -
Monkey
Flyaway Columba - Columba
Twisted Acres Smiles for Miles - Lassen 10/23

The vet had never met a Mudi and told me that she enjoyed spending some time with a breed new to her. She also made a point to tell me how much she appreciated their good manners. Columba was the youngest today 19 months and Kona the oldest at 11 years old.

Rooster, Hondo and Marmaduke! Sundays are for napping, even if it’s only 10 am🤣

Hondo and Duke enjoying a quiet Saturday morning snuggle. The older Mudi pups are outdoors enjoying some sunshine🐾🖤

The John Wayne Cowboys litter is becoming more active each day. They are practicing a wider range of vocalizations, moving around the whelping box a lot to strengthen those muscles and responding to noises now with curiosity. There are no teeth yet but I can feel a few right beneath the gums.

One of the Lassen x Rumli puppies after a tiring game of paper shredding! This litter was born 1/21/24. There is 1 black female and 1 black male, both with full tails, still waiting for their perfect home. These puppies have been a joy to raise. They are crate trained, sleep through the night quietly and are well on their way to being housebroken.

28/04/2024

The puppies each weigh over 2 pounds now, ranging in weight from 2 lbs 3 oz to 2 lbs 9 oz.
Their eyes are open and they are getting up on all four feet for short periods of time. They are still mostly nursing and sleeping, and growing.
This is the John Wayne Cowboys litter.
Introducing;
Stony-Merle female
Rooster-Black male w/chest spot
Marmaduke-Black male
Hondo-Merle male

It’s been a very sad morning. Delta’s little yellow boy passed this morning after a few hours of abnormal, labored breathing. He had been active, gaining weight, nursing well, until he wasn’t. There were no sounds of fluid collection, no sign of nasal discharge, no change in color of the tissues to indicate an oxygenation problem… He was such a special boy and I already had hopes and plans for him. Praying this was an isolated incident and watching the remaining 4 very closely, obsessively close.
I’m so sorry little Angel baby❤️😞

This little yellow male has a tiny little white spot on the top of his head. He looks as if he was kissed by an Angel just before he was born.

Drake x Delta puppies are 5 days old today!
Just a few quick photos of the jellybeans🐾🖤

16/04/2024

Delta is such a good momma. At 24 hours old the weights ranged from 12.6 ounces for the merle female and 14.9 ounces for the yellow male. The only female in the litter is the merle with the most black at the center of the first photo. The other 4 puppies are males.

14/04/2024

They have arrived! Delta whelped her 5 puppirs between 5 and 7 am this morning. We have 2 merle, 2 black and 1 yellow puppies. Individual photos to come🐾
