The first information about the Polski Owczarek Nizinny, as the Polish Lowland Sheepdog is known in its native Poland (and hence the acronym PON), was written in the 16th century according to the late Mrs G O Willison, who is also credited with developing the Bearded Collie in the modern dog fancy. It is recorded that a medium-sized shaggy-coated herding dog existed in Poland for centuries. It is believed that the Polish Lowland Sheepdog originated from an Asian sheepdog, similar in type to the Tibetan Terrier, which believably may be the ancestor of the Hungarian Puli.
