Yes, mudis have very similar character to border collies, but they're much more steady, active and nice calm at home. Mudis also instead of border collies don't like strangers and other dogs alot, what makes them much more focused in work with human. I personally choose mudi because they're full of energy and really good in sports, and at home they're pretty calm and no-problem dogs. They also are centered on working with human, not on playing with dogs etc. They're much more barky than borders, but this thing can be trained. I have two mudis, and no problems with my neighbours about barking.
