Is it free to advertise here?

Yes. A breeder profile and your litter and stud dog adverts are free. Premium profiles, featured placement and sponsored articles are optional paid extras; see pricing.

Do I need a licence to advertise puppies?

In England you need a dog breeding licence from your council if you breed three or more litters in 12 months or breed and sell dogs as a business, and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland have their own schemes. Licensed breeders show their licence number and issuing council on every advert. Puppies must be at least eight weeks old before they go to new homes.

Is my listing already here?

We add licensed breeders from councils' public registers. Search for your kennel name; if it is listed you can claim it and edit everything.

About the Hungarian Mudi

The Hungarian Mudi is a medium-sized herding dog from Hungary. The Royal Kennel Club (RKC) says dogs resembling the Mudi were known there from the 18th century, but formal recognition did not come until 1936. The history in the RKC breed standard describes a shepherding dog used to herd large livestock and to flush wild boar, whose ancestors were Hungarian herding dogs and several prick-eared German herding types. The RKC recognised the breed from 1 July 2025, placing it on the Imported Breed Register in the Pastoral group as Hungarian Mudi (Imp), and an interim breed standard took effect on 1 October 2025. It is not a vulnerable native breed.

Size and build

The standard asks for a body very slightly longer than the height at the withers, a wedge-shaped head, high-set V-shaped ears carried erect and a topline that slopes gently towards the rear. Males should measure 43-45 cm at the withers and females 40-42 cm, with 2 cm either side tolerated; no weight is given. Tails range from naturally absent to full length. The RKC lists the breed as medium-sized with a typical lifespan of over 10 years.

Coat and grooming

Short, smooth hair covers the head and the front of the legs. On the body the coat is dense and glossy, very wavy to slightly curly, never wiry and roughly 3-7 cm long, with longer feathering on the backs of the forelegs, the upper thighs and under the tail. Accepted colours are black, white, fawn, blue, brown and blue-brown (Isabella), plus merle in any of these. The RKC says the coat sheds and suggests grooming about once a week.

Exercise, temperament and home life

The RKC suggests up to an hour of exercise a day and lists the Mudi as a country dog that can live in a small house with a small or medium garden. The standard wants an intelligent, lively, brave and watchful dog that is eager to work, and treats aggressive or overly shy behaviour as unacceptable. The RKC adds that, like many herding breeds, the Mudi tends to be vocal and alert, bonds closely with its family and suits an experienced owner able to provide stimulation, structure and a purpose. Dogs on the Imported Breed Register can already compete in RKC agility, obedience, rally and working trials.

Hungarian Mudi health tests

The RKC does not currently recommend any pre-breeding health screening for the Hungarian Mudi, and advises breeders and buyers to check the breed page often, as this may change when new evidence and research become available. There is no RKC breed-specific DNA testing package for the Mudi, although individual DNA tests can be ordered through the RKC. The lack of recommended tests is not a statement that the breed is free of health problems, so it is fair to ask a breeder which checks they have chosen to carry out and why. Separately, the RKC encourages routine eye testing under the BVA/KC/ISDS Eye Scheme for dogs of any breed, and the scheme is open to all dogs; abnormalities found are collated into an annual sightings report that the scheme's Eye Panel Working Party reviews.

The Mudi only joined the Imported Breed Register in July 2025, so genetic diversity deserves attention. The RKC inbreeding coefficient calculator shows the predicted COI for a mating between registered dogs, although for some newly recognised breeds the breed average is shown as N/A. The Mudi is in Breed Watch Category 1, meaning no breed-specific points of concern have been flagged for show judges. The RKC says it will develop its new breeding for health framework to apply to each breed.

Choosing a Hungarian Mudi breeder

With a breed this new to the UK, finding a breeder can take time and may mean travelling. A good Mudi breeder will show you the RKC registration for both parents, explain where their lines come from and tell you the litter's coefficient of inbreeding (COI). The RKC sets no health tests for the breed yet, so ask what screening the breeder has chosen to do and why; a clear, honest answer is worth more than a long list. If either parent was imported, ask to see its pedigree and RKC registration. Expect the breeder to ask about your experience, your daily routine and how you will give a vocal, work-keen herding dog enough to do. Always see the puppies with their mother. In England, a council licence is needed by anyone breeding three or more litters within 12 months and selling any of the puppies, or running a business that breeds dogs and advertises them for sale. The RKC Find a Club search is one place to look for breed contacts, and our buyer safety guide covers viewing a litter and paying deposits safely.
