Polish Lowland Sheepdogs
There are a ton of different herding dogs in the world. Most of them have been made to herd sheep. Well, this would be no different for the Polish Lowland Sheepdog. This is a dog that has a very shaggy coat and was, of course, bred in Poland. The dog is medium size, and although it was made to herd sheep, this is now a dog that is mostly a companion dog. This dog is very different looking because of how shaggy the coat is. However, do not let that fool you. This dog is very self confident, and when given a task, it will make sure that it gets done. This can make both a good family dog and a great working dog. It's completely up to you, what you make it.
