A very lively breed, which is still a really sweet and nice dog to be around. The breed can be very vigilant and is extremely alert. However, it is also really teachable and it is super clever with a very good memory. The breed is very closely linked to its family and other people who are good and nice to it. It will also trust people who it knows, and you will experience the breed follow these people faithfully. Towards strangers, the breed is a bit reserved and can sometimes react by barking a bit. Barking can happen when, for example, someone comes and knocks on the door. The dog usually adapts to life as a family dog ​​with the experienced owner, so this dog is probably not ideal for first-time dog owners.
A very early and careful socialization allows this shepherd breed to become a harmonious member of a family. This breed needs regular exercise and the opportunity to solve tasks that it finds exciting, which can be track work, agility or something else.
Over the past 1000 years, it is very likely that the breed has evolved from old, shepherd dogs from Hungary, which have then been well and thoroughly crossed with smaller and some long-haired shepherd dogs. For many hundreds of years, the breed cared for its work as a shepherd dog on the Polish plains where it looked out for animals without anyone giving them much attention. The very harsh post-war times in Poland, especially during World War II, made the breed almost extinct, but it was fortunately saved at the finish line in 1970 and some years ahead. The breed is still used as a shepherd dog in some parts of the world, but the dog has also emerged as a good family dog. Males grow up to 45-50 cm, while females 42-47 cm. Both males and females weigh 14-16 kg.
The breed is super active as a youngster. It is an independent dog that is not always completely obedient. As an adult, it adapts quickly to the family and how they live. The dog does not tend to roam its own paths or go hunting on its own. The dog keeps a close eye on the herd and its family, but also only moves around at a certain distance where it still has good contact.
The breed's fur protects the dog well in most weather. The coat is dense and can be smooth or slightly curly with a slightly coarse, dense and thick covercoat over a soft, and very warm undercoat. The coat requires a few hours of work with a good brush once a week, if you want to avoid excessive shedding in the house, as this breed may well tend to shed, especially when the weather changes.
The breed is very willing to learn, it is cooperative and can be trained for many different purposes, as long as you remember that the training is always on the dog's terms and think about what it finds exciting. You should also implement so that the training takes place in short periods of time with breaks where it can find motivation for the task. The breed may tend to grow long hair on the head, so it may have difficulty seeing. However, you can easily cut the hair yourself or get a professional to cut the hair for you, so it does not cause problems with eye contact between you and the dog.
