Good to know
- Flock dog and guardian: bred in Poland to herd sheep by day and guard by night, they can be territorial and wary of strangers.
- Lots of coat: the shaggy double coat needs thorough weekly brushing, even in a shorter "puppy" clip, to prevent mats and debris.
- Energetic: they need ample daily exercise and enjoy long walks, hikes and sports like herding, agility or dock diving.
- Clever and stubborn: they learn quickly but may try to outsmart you, so early training and socialization are recommended.
- Alert watchdogs: they tend to bark to warn of anything unusual.
- A low-shedding coat. Some people with allergies find that easier to live with, but no breed is allergen-free.
Getting out with a Polish Lowland Sheepdog
Daily walks and some play keep them content. A mix of park time and easy trails suits them.
