A guide for a healthy adult. Puppies, older dogs and flat-faced breeds in the heat need less.

Good to know

  • Hungarian farm dog: bred to herd livestock and guard the farm, they are versatile, quick and agile workers.
  • High energy: they need lots of daily exercise and mental work, and enjoy running, hiking and dog sports.
  • Easy coat: the wavy coat needs only occasional brushing and baths to stay tidy.
  • Vocal and alert: they bark to raise the alarm and protect home and family, so they may not suit apartment life.

Getting out with a Mudi

Bred to keep going: they need plenty of exercise every day, like long trail walks, hikes and off-leash play where it's allowed.
