Puppies and rescue PONS
Finding a Polish Lowland Sheepdog Puppy
When looking for your ideal Polish Lowland puppy speak to many breeders, even if they haven’t puppies available they should be happy to discuss the positive & negatives of owning a PON. Breeders who do show usually follow KC & PLSC Code of Ethics, are happy for you to meet their fit & healthy dogs and promote the breed in a responsible manner.
ALL puppies should be Kennel Club Registered and any endorsements on the registrations should be clearly explained, you will find most breeders will ask you to agree and sign a contract, please ask for details prior to choosing your puppy. You should also receive a pedigree, worming details, vet check and vaccination certificate and microchip details, plus diet sheet and a bag of the puppy's current food, information sheets, and something familiar for the puppy to take home.
Polish Lowland Sheepdog puppies should be strong, sturdy puppies with very outgoing characters. Breeders should explain the grooming technique, advising the correct equipment to use, and since the coat takes a considerable amount of grooming, you must be prepared to devote time and remain patient. Ask the breeder if unforeseen circumstances were to arise within your family, making it impossible for you to keep your pet, would he/she be prepared to take back your puppy even when adult.
If you are looking for a puppy please contact Diane, who holds a list of available puppies from members litters.
Be careful if buying a puppy from abroad, the PLSC and the Kennel Club advise that owners see the puppy with their mother and not just via photos or video links. Third Party puppy sales were banned in April 2024 in the UK.
‘Lucy’s Law’ means that anyone wanting to get a new puppy in England must buy direct from a breeder. Read more:

Rehoming a Polish Lowland Sheepdog
Every care is taken, when PON puppies leave their mothers, to place them into permanent suitable homes, this has been so successful over the years that PONs hardly ever come into 'rescue' and need second homes.
However, very occasionally it does happen, always through no fault of the dog.
If there are any PONs needing a new home, details are shown in this section.
August 2024 - the 3 year old PON girl has been re-homed with a new family and is settling in well.
