Are Polish Lowland Sheepdogs good for first-time dog owners?
Not usually. They require mature owners who are able to groom and train them.
Are PONs good with children?
Yes, they are loving and protective, but early socialisation is important. They may try to herd kids.
Do Polish Lowland Sheepdogs shed a lot?
They are moderate shedders, and the falling loose hairs are hidden in their long coat, so brushing is necessary.
How often do they need grooming?
The dog should be brushed daily and groomed professionally every 6-8 weeks to help avoid tangles and mats.
