[woolly]

This v.1 has been officially closed! v.2 can be found in the colored in drawings of this thread. All dogs here can be kept but cannot participate in any v.2 events! the only way they can is if they are transferred by an artist, transfers will open every so often so keep an eye out.

Giving up this adoption center! Offering the lines to one person and you may do whatever you wish to do with these dogs. I suggest creating a v.2 version that doesn't have the rigorous training and all that, but it's your choice. Post here if you're interested in taking these off my hands?

The Mudi is a gorgeous, curly-furred, and very rare herding breed that originated from Hungary. They came to be Unwavering's number one focus as we expand their lineage, follow through with imports, and make sure their general welfare is well considered and protected.

The Three Variants

✿ Competitive dogs are healthy individuals imported, bred, and raised with a set conformation amount hoping to be improved throughout generations. These dogs must have a show name and a kennel they belong to. Some competitive training dogs may either be valued for their conformation, be treasured for perfectly standard coats, or just be loved for enjoying the sports they work hard in in regardless of bad conformation or non-standard fur.

✿ Companion dogs are more commonly known as pets. They may either be a family pet, be a beacon of companionship, work as a farm's herding dog, military work, guarding, or even get involved with working to be an official therapy mudi dog. These dogs do not have show names.

✿ Chimera ("a thing that is hoped or wished for but in fact is illusory or impossible to achieve.") dogs are new to Unwavering. They are not defined by color or genotype and are instead imported, rescued, and adopted for their unique coats that don't usually resemble normal dog patterns. These dogs can have show names but do not get any recognition for their conformation.

Traits For Competitive Variants & Coats of Companions

Dogs bred for show are found undesirable should they show traits not acceptable in standard Mudi appearances. But please note that this does not make a dog unworthy or invaluable should it have such traits, it only applies to their showing career and does not wholly define a dog's character.

✿ Conformation Standard Appearance

Things like non standard coats will be noted on the fault aspect on their pages.

All About Competitions, Titles, BPHC, TRR and Activites

✿ Competitions will be run every sunday and you will have that full week to prepare, whether that competition is as simple as entering your dog in something like a raffle or drawing a piece of art. Up to three competitions may be held, some could be exclusive to other competitive dogs, others could be casual games limited to companion dogs, and some may be fun activities like dock diving for chimera dogs. It depends on the week. The top three winners will receive a ribbon.

✿ Titles There will be various titles available to dogs by application or achievement. Some titles may be awarded for most popular, best of breed, best of lineage, and other titles may be given to companions for therapy work, military work. Other titles can be for most shows entered as of _, it really depends on what's being offered. Titles can also be of the kennel they belong to and were bred from.

✿ BPHC stands for Best Potential Hereditary Conformation. Foundation mudis will be given a random conformation number of somewhere between 0 and up. The BPHC will usually have two decimal points so dogs could very well be extremely close in conformation ranking. Breeding high BPHC competitive dogs who have won shows and have various titles will have a better chance at producing pups with higher BPHC than bred dogs with low conformation.

✿ Increasing TRR is an acronym for Training Regulated Recognition. Each mudi starts with 0 TRR, it can only be earned by doing the below activities to gain recognition for the work and care you've put towards developing your dogs. Mudis with higher TRR have a better chance at having quality puppies and placing in competitions. Each dog can gain up to 50 TRR.

If you have a character site with a log of what's been done, then you must make one post on your mudi's page and just update that post and bump whenever you've finished something. Please name what activity you've done (for example 1.) registration) so that it can be easily located. If you don't have a character site/thread with a log then you may make a post on your mudi's page and edit the post for your writing, art and such. Or you can post all that information on the transparent image's post. Art does not have to be done by you but the writing must be. Be creative! For art you could make a comic and for writings you could make a poem or a song if you want.


Registration must be completed first, but after that you do not have to go in order.
Only submit one of each nine activities per mudi.

1.) ✿ Registration (5) Must be the first thing completed!
Requirements include submitting a fullbody of your mudi and a short story or poem or song about registering your dog either to your kennel, taking it home, etc.

2.) ✿ Basic Training (5)

Marking for sure! These are gorgeous.

[deertush]

mark.

[ShadyBro]

Ahh yus I can finally mark this lovely thing <3

[woolly]

Thanks loves<3

How do the headshots look? I think I'll do headshots for the faults, a few unrestricted colors, and colors they don't have to give the page some color.

[ShadyBro]

The headshots are so flippin adorable, though I love the little charts as well <3

[woolly]

Awesome! I added another chart too. I think that each dog is going to have its own lines so each Mudi is custom made, how does that sound?

[ShadyBro]

It sounds amazing obviously XD
