The Polish Lowland Sheepdog is classified by The Royal Kennel Club as a medium breed, typically weighing 14–20 kg as an adult. Known as the "PON" from its Polish name Polski Owczarek Nizinny, this shaggy, thickly coated herder has a history stretching back centuries and is believed by some to be an ancestor of breeds like the Bearded Collie.
What this means for your Polish Lowland Sheepdog
Hip dysplasia and progressive retinal atrophy are both worth screening for. The breed is generally considered hardy and long-lived, having been shaped by generations of working farm conditions in Poland.
The thick double coat needs regular grooming to prevent matting, particularly around the eyes where hair can obstruct vision if left untrimmed.
When is a Polish Lowland Sheepdog considered a senior?
Under The Royal Kennel Club's size-adjusted guidance, medium breeds like the Polish Lowland Sheepdog are generally considered senior from around 7 dog years old.
