Polish Lowland Sheepdog
Purebred Dog Breed Information

Polish Lowland Sheepdog


Description

A member of the Herding group, The Polish Lowland Sheepdog is

lively but self-controlled, clever and perceptive, and is endowed with an excellent memory.

They have many talents: herding dog, guard dog or watch dog.

He is stable and self confident and needs a dominant master and consistent training from the time he is very young.

If this is not provided, he will tend to dominate the master.

A medium-sized, cobby, strong dog with a long, thick coat and hanging hair that covers the eyes, the PON's herding and working ability is attributed to an intense desire to please his handler.

See a few of these guys in action

When not used as a herding or working dog, he can be a magnificent companion as he seems to fit into any type of lifestyle. He is extremely loyal, but somewhat aloof and suspicious of strangers.

Overall PONs are considered non-shedders but you must be prepared to brush the coat thoroughly a few times a week and keep him clean. No trimming of the coat is needed.

Country of origin: Hungary
Lifespan: 10-14 years
Colors: Black and white, white, sable, gray, red
Known health problems: Fairly hardy breed
Famous PONS: Lorelai Gilmore's dog "Paul Anka", on the TV show Gilmore Girls
