Polish Lowland Sheepdog

Polish Lowland Sheepdog


Other names : Valee Sheepdog

Native country : Poland

History

The Polish Lowland Sheepdog was bred from the Hungarian Puli and other Asian sheepdogs, such as the Tibetan Terrier. This relative of the Old English Sheepdog (and possibly the Bearded Collie) is a good guardian of the flock. The breed almost disappeared after WW II, but in 1971, it was recognized by the FCI. The Polish Lowland Sheepdog was introduced to France in 1980.

Description

This is an alert, courageous, rustic breed that is well-adapted to living outdoors in harsh weather conditions. The Polish Lowland Sheepdog is intelligent, dominant, vocal, and strong-willed. This dog requires firm training. Very distrustful of strangers, he is an excellent guard dog. Unfailingly loyal, this happy dog adores his owner and children, making him a good pet.

Advice

This sheepdog can adjust to city living if he is given a lot of exercise. Brushing once or twice per week is required.
