PROFILE: Mudi Corgi - A fascinating combination of will to work and charm.
The Mudi Corgi is created by crossing the Mudi, a versatile Hungarian herding dog, and the Corgi, which exists in two main varieties: the Pembroke Welsh Corgi and the Cardigan Welsh Corgi.
The Mudi Corgi offers a fascinating combination of intelligence, willingness to work, and charm. This mix is perfect for active families or individuals who are willing to meet the demands of these energetic and loving dogs. With proper training and care, this dog will become a loyal and happy companion.
