A Polish merchant traded a shipment of grain for sheep in Scotland in 1514 and brought six dogs to move the sheep. It is thought that the dogs he had were from a Puli being bred with some herding dogs. A Scottish man was so impressed with the herding ability of these dogs that he traded a ram and two ewes for a male and two female dogs. These dogs were bred with the Bearded Collie, which produced the Polish Lowland Sheepdog.

The Polish Lowland sheepdog has great working ability, excellent memory and always eager to please. They need a dominant owner with consistent training from a young age. They are very loyal and affectionate with their family and tend to be very suspicious with strangers.

Males should stand at 18 to 20 inches tall, females 17 to 19 inches. Their body is covered with a long, shaggy coat. The most common colors are white with black, gray or sandy patches and gray with white or chocolate.

Health concerns in the breed include Hip Dysplasia, Progressive Retinal Atrophy, and thyroid problems.
