Mudi Activity Requirements

The Mongolian shepherd dog, also known as the Mudi, is a herding and guarding dog from Mongolia. They are intelligent, alert, and loyal. The Mudi’s thick, double coat protects them in the wild, but it requires regular grooming to keep it healthy. The Mudi’s size, intelligence, and strength make it a strong-willed and stubborn dog. For this reason, they can be difficult to train. They are also quite independent and prefer to be left alone if they are not being supervised. The Mudi is a high-energy, outdoor dog. They require a lot of exercise and stimulation, as well as room to roam. They should not be kept in an apartment or small house without a backyard. If you can provide your Mudi with plenty of space to run, they will be able to meet all of their physical and social needs.
