Weighing in between 30 to 50 pounds, the Polish Lowland Sheepdog is a medium-sized herding breed with a long, shaggy coat that could give any rockstar a run for their money. Hailing from (you guessed it) Poland, these dogs have been herding sheep and stealing hearts for centuries with their intelligence, agility, and indomitable spirit. But once their work in the fields is done, they’re all about play and cuddles. These Polish charmers are as happy to play a game of fetch as they are to snooze on the couch. So, if you’re on the hunt for a dog who combines brainpower, versatility, and heart, the Polish Lowland Sheepdog could be the dog for you.
