General Appearance
Medium-sized, cobby, strong 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. The PON is lively but self-controlled, clever and perceptive and is endowed with an excellent memory.
Owning
Effective on July 1, 1999, the newest breed to enter the Miscellaneous Class at AKC conformation shows was the Polish Lowland Sheepdog.
Temperament
He is stable and self confident. He 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. 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. Faults: Nervous, cowardly, or extreme vicious behavior.
