DOGS

After two years with Gleda we decided to have another pon as a companion and friend for us all. Junior also came to us from the Dziechcinek kennel. He is the son of Gleda's sister - Gracja, so he is Gleda's nephew. Junior is brave and sociable, always lots of fun with endless energy. From a young age he accompanied Gleda to shows, watching her, and showing an eagerness to enter the ring. Junior quickly achieved many show successes, he got to the final of the 'Puppy Pastoral Group' Crufts 2017 and won and also won the junior class on Crufts 2017. He also has many 'Best Puppy in Breed' titles.
He is still very young, but we are so proud of what he has achieved in such a short period. At shows in the ring he is always very calm and concentrated and I enjoy  working with him so much. Junior settled quickly on walks with a pack from a young age which has allowed his social skills to develop very well. Now his job is to help Gleda, when a dog goes too far, Junior runs and brings him back. He loves to chase birds and run, run, run! Junior has a very strong herding instinct and we have nurtured this by taking him to sheepdog training which he loves.  He has a lot more to learn and unfortunately we don't have our own sheep to be able train every day, but we go as much as we can. Junior has brought so much joy and happiness to our home. Together with Gleda he creates a pack of crazy and sometimes a little loud Pons.

Right from the beginning Gleda fascinated us with her personality and incredible intelligence. She came to us when she was 7 weeks old and she spent the early part of her life in Serbia. She has also lived in Poland and Norway, sleeping in a tent with us, and swimming in the Norwegian fjords. She is a globetrotter, who first jumps into the car and never complains on long trips. She goes where we go, by car, bus, ferry, train. Now my husband and I are settled in Wallingford in England with her and our other Polish Lowland, Junior. 
Gleda is a watchful observer, and likes to have everything under control. She must check who is  behind us, barking at the passerby asking for directions, or at customs officers at the border. Gleda is very talkative and the last word always belong to her. She will bark at strangers, but later on she will bring her ball to  play with them -  the ball is the thing Gleda loves to the moon and back. Despite being slightly stubborn she learned a lot of commands by 4 months old and could do many of the tricks, which she still remembers today. She also enjoys and excels at agility which has enabled us to strengthen our bond and have great fun together. She is fast, agile, and excellent at following each command as she knows that at the end is her favourite ball.
When we get together with our friends she is always the star, showing what she can do. I couldn't count how many people we have meet on our trips who have said that when they have a dog it will be Polish Lowland, like a Gleda, the smartest, best friend forever. I am a professional dog walker and Gleda is my right hand man. She loves to meet new dogs and is very good socially and when in a pack. She keeps the pack under control, and also helps with socialization of  new dogs. We spend our days on long walks in the woods and fields, accompanied by many different dogs. She seems able to read our minds, she is very devoted, smart, always watching her family. Our best friend, such a dream dog and we cannot imagine life without her.
