A rare breed, they are said to descend from the Huns' dogs from when they migrated into Europe from Asia and were bred to native herders. Some were allegedly imported to Scotland in the 1500s and helped establish the Bearded Collie. Few were left after World War II and the breed has since been restored. These dogs are still favorites in Poland on farms or in the city and are commonly called PONs, for their Polish name, Polski Owczarek Nizinny.
Said to be generally healthy, breeding stock should be tested for hip dysplasia and inherited eye diseases. As with any restored breed, open communication about health issues among breeders and owners is recommended.

DLA Haplotypes in the Breed
The Dog Leukocyte Antigen or DLA is the region in the canine genome that controls the immune system, among other things. There are three classes or areas, and the VGL Canine Diversity Test genotypes or records the two regions with the most variation. Because it is an area that mutates more rapidly than others, the method VGL uses is ideal for identifying specific combinations of DNA, and not merely showing whether a dog inherited two of the same sets of genetics from its parents or two different ones.
"Haplotype" is a generic name for a set of genes that are bound together and inherited as a set. The DLA Class I and Class II haplotypes are very tightly bound and represent about 2 million base pairs of DNA - a sizeable chunk. These two haplotypes together make an extended haplotype that is nearly always passed from parent to puppies as a pair. We therefore have two tables below showing both the combinations of DLA found in this breed and how often they appear, and also how often they appear individually.
Remember that frequency percentages do not show how many dogs carry them, but rather how many of these haplotypes exist in the breed as a whole. Every dog has two sets of DLA haplotypes, one inherited from dam, and one inherited from sire. These almost never recombine in new generations.
