Gonduzo-Alkonyat Mudi: Puppies have arrived!

Gondûzô-Alkonyat AJ litter born (Hungary) 12/29/12

Parents are: Gondûzô-Alkonyat Mokány Lator "Attila" x

Gondûzô-Alkonyat Örök Jóság "Jósi"

Litter was bred by live cover in the USA in late October 2012, Jósi was flown to the USA and spent 6 weeks there with one of her owners. Puppies are born and raised inside our home here in Hungary. All pups have long tails, wavy-curly coats, 1 brown merle female, 5 brown females, 2 brown males, FCI pedigree with 3 complete generations, almost 5 full gens, 23 generations total. A complete Pedigree Analysis was done, the Epilepsy Risk Score is: 19 Low; COI: 14.1%. We think lower epilepsy risk is most important, with COI also given strong consideration. This is the first litter we have bred with a COI over 12%. This is our 17^th litter since 2004, our kennel COI average is: 6.9% (17 litters, high COI: 14.1 (second highest: 11.3), Low: 2.7%, majority of litters are in the 2-8% range: 13 litters). Pedigree Analysis is done on every litter we own or co-breed since 2010.

45 cm tall (17 ½”)

Jóság’s parents are both eye tested clear and both have official A hip scores; both parents are temperament and herding instinct tested passed on sheep/ mother also on gray cows

Attila (ML litter COI: 7.5%); 4 years old; this is his first litter; 4 of 5 ‘ML litter’ pups have been hip/eye checked with passing results

Attila has: OFA hips Good (B equivalent)

Eyes CERF exam Clear (2010)

(No breeding exam in USA, but he has 2 testicles and complete dentition with a scissors bite, perfect tail, excellent fur, pricked ears)

47-48 cm tall (18 ½”)

Attila’s parents are both official B hip scored (MKOE) and mother has clear eye exam; mother is temperament tested (USA and Hungary) and herding instinct test passed on sheep/gray cows

Both parents have excellent temperament, no fear of loud noises, fireworks or storms. Attila is very tolerant of people and strange dogs. Jósi is a very human friendly dog and strange dog tolerant. Their littermates are active, healthy and many are doing sports. The pups in Jósi’s first litter are very sport centric, we expect these pups to also be very sport capable.

Puppies are available to active, loving homes for breeding or non-breeding purposes. All puppies will be co-owned until spayed/neutered, with the new owner given primary owner status. Co-own involves ONLY the right to approve selected mates for breeding and determination of suitability for breeding (passed health exams, age, proper dentition, correct temperament, etc.). Financial responsibility of the dog and litters (sired or whelped) are solely the responsibility of the primary owner, no costs or gains are shared with the secondary owners.

We do our very best to prevent the further spread of epilepsy genes into the Mudi gene pool and we wish this for the puppies we create as well, this is why we co-own. We do not breed for money or fame, we breed to make good, all-purpose Mudis for people that want an active Mudi companion. We do not seek super sport competitor homes, actually we avoid placing a puppy in those as dogs are not sports equipment. We do not breed for size as a good Mudi is good in any size, the talent of the Mudi is determined by the talent of its trainer. We breed with health as our number one concern, because without health, any other goal is unachievable.
