O.C.E.A.N.
Our mudi's basic personalities are determined through 'Big Five' factor model traits, usually determined to understand human personality but also applied to our dogs.
Each trait is measured by low-high-very high etc.
✿ Openness - cautious and consistent vs curious and creative
✿ Conscientiousness - careless and spontaneous vs disciplined and dependable
✿ Extraversion - reserved and solitary vs outgoing and friendly
✿ Agreeableness - detached and suspicious vs compassionate and cooperative
✿ Neuroticism - secure and confident vs vulnerable and sensitive
DARPG Involvement
DARPG stands for dog-art-roleplay-game, which is big on deviantart but not much so on chickensmoothie. Before I explain, it is entirely optional for you to participate in this part, you are still free to adopt mudis if you choose not to.
Our mudis are imported and brought in to Unwavering to be adopted out, after you adopt one it is up to you to develop it as a character. Create a kennel thread, expand on its personality, try stories and art, make your kennel interactive, the choice is yours and it is up to you to decide how you want to play.
The perks of the DARPG side of Unwavering is that once you do develop your dog, there are items and titles that can be added to your dog's image! For example conformation show dogs will be given a simple, thin black collar. Therapy dogs are offered a Unwavering unique vest and so on. To get your dog customized like this you just need to make sure you do the below ~
Do these activities in order, simply by posting 'registration' and artwork or a story on your mudi's page, then 'bonding' and artwork or story, and so on. These must be posted on your dog's oekaki page to be counted. There's no timeframe in which you can complete them or how you choose to, be as creative as you want to be and take your time! Once you introduce your dog to the occupation you wish to train it in a vest will be added in whatever color you wish. Then you must complete at least two (can do as many as you want!) different activities within 30 days, no less but you can spend more time in training, to graduate your dog to being officially apart of its occupation and receiving it's hard earned vest/harness/collar. The last objective you'll need to complete is alerting the archivist and your dog's artist that you have completed every objective and that your dog is official in its line of work.

Recognized Occupations
✿ Active Conservation red/orange simple vest with a pawprint/sheephorn stamp
This dogs have more high energy than most and are often too demanding for easy-going lines of work. They show excellent drive, boundless enthusiasm, incredible willingness to work, and just overall sensitivity for detection work. There are endless opportunities for these mudis, including ecological monitoring, habitat mapping, poaching prevention, invasive species detection, disease containment, eradication, and more!
✿ Service complicated leather harness; navy~policework, purple~therapy, red~search & rescue, green~etc
Assistance dogs vary greatly and are told apart by their different colored vests, from gentle pediatric therapeutic dogs to 100% focused seizure alert dogs, to community sheriff dogs! Lines of work in this occupation include seeing eye dogs, signal dogs, mobility assistance, medical alerting, k9 work and psychiatric service.
✿ Herding - color customizable collar
Most mudis are natural born herders, whether it be keeping a flock of sheep enclosed in a pasture, nipping at the heels of cows to herd them in a line, or whatever the livestock may be.
✿ Watchdog - leather harness
It takes a certain personality and a great deal of loyalty for a mudi to become a proficient watchdog. They can be herd guardians, government guardians, or work around the clock home protection.
✿ Show - thin black collar
Show dogs are the best of the breed, including A+ conformation and features befitting what the breed is all about.
✿ Competitive Sport - color customizable harness
Sporting dogs are high energy and high drive pups with a love for things like dock diving, agility courses, and more!
