Polish Lowland Sheepdog

History: The Polish Lowland Sheepdog, also known as the Polski Owczarek Nizinny (and nicknamed PON in America) hails as its name clearly indicates from Poland. This dog has roots that trail to Central Asia and is derived from Tibetan Terrier bloodlines. The Polish Lowland Sheepdog was evolved more as a flock herder than a flock guarder which would explain its moderate size; while other larger herd dogs protected the livestock from large predators the PON worked with the Shepherds to control and guide the sheep.
