IMuDI is the International Mudi Data Initiative
The goal of IMuDI is to provide health and breed information, via easy to use data tools that help prospective owners select the best Mudi puppy for their needs, and breeders to create the best Mudi litters they can.
IMuDI tools are additional information sources that are used along with other data sources (such as: health and DNA tests, temperament and herding instinct tests, conformation show and sport results) when deciding which puppy to acquire, or which parents to use for creating a litter.
MPAC
The first data tool is called: MPAC – Mudi Pedigree Analysis Certificate
MPAC is a Mudi health reporting system that has been in development for more than 14 years. The system is based on the health reporting system ASHGI uses.
If you are familiar with the Mudi epilepsy risk scores that have been provided since 2012, the system used for epilepsy can be applied to every health issue, as that is what the system was made for, assessing every kind of health risk, not just epilepsy.
MPAC will give you the risk scores for more than 80 health issues being tracked in the Mudi breed since 2004. However, there is a top 20 health issue version as well. COI and epilepsy risk scores will continue to be free.
MPAC reports issued will be listed on the MPAC Report List page on this blog.
MGENS
The second tool is called: MGENS – Mudi GENerations Service
MGENS will provide population genetics data for the breed, as well as for the breeder that is interested in making sure the lines they use in Mudi breeding are diversified, kept diversified and represent the full set of breed founders as much as possible.
More information about this service will be provided soon.
MPEDS
The third tool is called: MPEDS - Mudi Pedigree Service
MPEDS can create a pedigree for your Mudi or planned litter. It can be 3-4 generations and can include your watermark and logo. 5 generations is possible, but in most cases the 5th generation is very hard to read, therefore it is not recommended.
The fees are much more affordable than AKC’s. And you can customize your pedigree, AKC does not offer that.
More information can be found under the individual
program tabs on this blog.
