Welcome to Menagerie Mudis & More!
Menagerie Mudis & More is a small preservation breeder located in rural southern Indiana that breeds, shows, and trains a small variety of dogs in different venues. We primarily breed and raise Mudis, and are excited to share our K9 family with you. Our goal is to produce quality dogs that are fully health tested, bred for temperament and structure, are of medium drive, and true to the breed standard.
All of our puppies are raised in our home with a combination of my life experience, puppy culture, and Avidog principles. Puppy rearing is not a workbook, it is a lifestyle. My goal is to give every puppy the best start possible, and find it the perfect match to meet its needs and develop into the perfect active family companion.
Obedience was my first love and I grew up training dogs in 4H. I resumed competition after my children became adults. It was my turn to do what I love!
A few years ago, I became fascinated with how a breed becomes fully recognized by the AKC. Herding breeds are great obedience dogs, so I wanted to explore that possibility. I was thrilled that the Mudi Specialty was being held two hours from my house. That visit began my love affair with the Mudi.
The best of my Mudis show in conformation, and play in obedience, rally, barn hunt, scent work, FastCat, and Dock Diving. Szia is the number one Dock Diving Mudi, and currently holds the distance record at 26’6″.
Many of the puppies produced from our kennels are successfully competing in both conformation and multiple sport venues. Most importantly, they are devoted, loving, active family dogs!
