Wodan’s Fastback “Swift”

Koves-Berci Betyar Puszta x Nuuk Ik K Aak Naab (Tanus)

Swift, bred in North Carolina by Wodan Kennels, is our foundation bitch and official introduction to the Mudi breed. We could not have asked for a better girl to begin our journey with Mudi. Swift is not only stunning to look at, she is exceptionally driven, intelligent, biddable, and intuitive.

Swift trains and competes in multiple disciplines, including herding, dock diving, agility, and disc. We also began her conformation career in 2021, and it will be the focus of much of our 2022 training. Swift earned her advanced trick title by the time she was five months old, and her Dock Master (Lap) title at nine months. She trialed and completed both her Herding Ranch Dog (HRD) level one and Herding Trial Arena Dog (HTAD) level one titles before her first birthday. In late 2021, she was the third purebred Mudi to earn a Disc Dog Bronze Elite (DDBE) title and in the spring of 2022, Swift became the first Mudi to compete and podium at the UpDog International Finals.

Another new adventure for Swift is search & rescue training. In late 2021, we joined a local K9 SAR team, and Swift is training as an air-scent “live find” dog – meaning that once Swift and Heather are certified, they will be active in the state and called out to find missing persons when needed. Swift truly loves her search & rescue work and we expect it to be one of her primary jobs going forward.
