Mudi vs Irish Water Spaniel

The Mudi is a medium Hungarian herding dog with a wavy or curly coat and lively expression. Intelligent, loyal, and versatile, it excels in work and dog sports. Naturally watchful and reserved with strangers, it needs extensive mental and physical activity and remains a relatively rare breed.

Medium–large, athletic gundog with a distinctive curly liver coat, smooth face and tapering “rat tail.” Clever, water‑loving retriever that forms close bonds, often to one person. Needs substantial daily exercise, mental work, regular grooming and kind, consistent training.
