The MEOE is the Hungarian Kennel Club and is affiliated with FCI. The MEOE MMK is the Parent Club for the Mudi breed in Hungary.

The MEOE MMK and the AMA work together on many projects for the Mudi breed.  Please be sure to visit this webpage often to see the latest news.

Also the latest events and news from Hungary that affect the Mudi breed will be posted here.  Many new things are developing for the Mudi in Hungary too!  Be sure to check in often.

MEOE rules change: As of this time, no more dogs (including Mudi's) will be given a B registration pedigree in Hungary.  Now they will be given an R registration.  All litters of Mudi puppies that have a B or R registered parent, will have to be approved by the MEOE MMK President before a pedigree will be given to the puppies in the litter.  This includes previously bred B dogs as well.

In the May 2005 issue of the Journal of Comparative Psychology, published in the USA, Dr. Péter Pongrácz's bark research article will premier.  It features Mudi's as the breed selected for the barks that were used and his research on dog's barking as a human communication tool.  Péter's research is ongoing at the ELTE University in Budapest and has been awarded several grants.  Péter's work is the first published research using the Mudi breed.  His research continues to use Mudi barks and is a topic in many Ethological conference seminars.  Of course Mudi barks and pictures are always present!  It is a great source of breed recognition!  Many thanks and congratulations to Péter!

*NEW* In the May 2005 issue of the American Psychological Association journal "Monitor on Psychology", Dr. Péter Pongrácz was interviewed in association with the article (published above also in May) in the Journal of Comparative Psychology regarding his dog bark research. 

The Nemzetközi Kutya Magazin, is another dog magazine in Hungary, where Péter is a regular every month in the "By Their Opinion" section.  He is pictured there with his Mudi Fecske! This is a monthly forum of 6 consultants that answer 3 questions every month, concerning the hottest dog issues and topics.  Péter is the Ethologist who makes dog research.  The other consultants are a vet, an obedience trainer, a dog breeder, an agility competitor and an animal welfare activist.

The Mudi is on a postage stamp in Hungary!  It is also on the cover on the Magyar Posta Katalógus 2004 of collectors stamps!  The Mudi was commemorated as one of the 9 Hungarian breeds that were made National Treasures this year in Hungary.  The four breeds given a place on the stamp were the Puli, the Magyar Agar, the Mudi and the Vizsla.  This is the first time the Mudi has appeared on a Hungarian stamp.
