So, it got us thinking..do you have a favourite type of dog?

What's happened?

According to the Kennel Club, references to Mudi-like dogs date back to the 18th century.

However, it wasn't until 1936 that the breed was formally identified.

The herding dog breed originates from Hungary, in Central Europe and are known for their intelligence and distinctive features - a curly coat, ears that stick up.

Dorit Powell from The Hungarian Mudi Club in the UK said that the dogs are very loving and loyal family members.

"Mudis love to please and work best with variation, patience, positive reinforcement.

"Most Mudis love water and will happily splash and swim," she added.

Mudis will become the 225th official breed of pedigree dog - the last breed to be recognised by the Kennel Club was the Icelandic Sheepdog earlier this year.
