Ildiko’s experience

  • About Ildiko

    Born in Hungary, live in Chicago, IL. I started with vizslas,from the US, but 4 years later we lost him to cancer, added a second vizsla, adopted another. We lost our second V at age 11 due to cancer again. Our last V is 11. I have a small scale breeding program, where my dogs will come from Hungary, or cross bred with mudi imported from Hungary.

  • What makes Ildiko’s program special

    All my Mudi are from Hungary. Alert, active, and smart, highly trainable herding dog from Hungary- helped shepherds maintain their flocks, have high exercise needs; they can be also calm family dogs when excercise physically and mentally. The Mudi is lively, tractable, intelligent and keen. Great guard, watch and alarm dog, and is an excellent agility dog and companion.They are medium-sized.

More about Ildiko

  • Why Ildiko started breeding

    A couple of years ago one of my son 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 4 years ago. I fell in love with the breed and decided to continue the mudi line...once it was almost instinct in Hungary. Email: szumorufuzmudikennel@gmail.com
