Dogs born with short or natural bobtail will be indicated on the FCI pedigree.

They have a high pitched bark and are often very loud.

They are moderately active indoors and will do best with at least a large yard.

The height at the withers in both sexes is between 16 and 21 inches and the length exceeds the height by approximately 10%. Traditionally the tail is docked very short but, if undocked, it is carried curled over the dog's back.

A characteristic is the short hairs on its somewhat fox-like head and legs. The remainder of the coat is longer and wavy or curly.

The Mudi standard indicates other characteristics of the breed.

In the American Kennel Club, Mudi are in the Miscellaneous Class.

In 2018, a published paper identified multiple different types of merle that affect coat color differently.

Dogs with two copies of the merle gene (homozygous merle or "double merle") have an even higher chance of being deaf and with vision impairments.

Pigmentation on paw pads and nose may be mottled by pink.
