Where Every Paw Feels at Home.
Also known as PON, Polski Owczarek Nizinny
A shaggy Polish shepherd with a sharp mind and a mop of hair
The PON is an old Polish herding dog, bright, watchful and devoted to its family. Its long shaggy double coat demands regular brushing, and its clever, independent mind needs daily training and activity.

This breed needs about 75 minutes of activity a day. Around 5 sitter-led sessions a week keeps that routine going when work or travel gets in the way.
