Grooming guide: Mudi
Wavy to curly coat needs regular brushing. Self-cleaning.
In practice that means a weekly grooming cadence for most Mudi owners - the curly coat sheds or mats fast enough that spacing sessions further apart lets tangles or loose fur build up between visits.

Among 42 medium breeds, Mudi is #41 by weight and #41 by AKC popularity. Coat multiplier 1.40× versus a band average of 1.22, about 0.18 above peers, so finishing time and de-matting risk sit on the expensive side of this size band.
