Who are we?
We first met in 2003 and we were married in 2005. Our paths crossed because we owned Mudis and we became instant friends even though we lived on opposite sides of the planet. Péter is Hungarian and Celeste is American. We currently live in Hungary, but we travel to the US as often as our lives allow. We are both members of the MEOE Magyar Mudi Klub (MMK) and the American Mudi Association (AMA). Péter is the former president of the Magyar Mudi Klub. Celeste has been the president of the AMA since September 1, 2004. Péter is a biologist/ethologist and works at the Eötvös Loránd University in Budapest, Hungary. He investigates dog behavior and dog-human communication. His bark research using Mudi barks has become world famous. Celeste is a freelance writer and has published articles in Europe and the USA. Besides our love of Mudis, we are avid gardeners, castle ruin explorers, Hungarian folkart and shepherd gear collectors. Our Mudis accompany us almost everywhere we go. Besides each other, our Mudis are our best friends and companions and we owe much of the happiness in our lives to them.
