The Polish
Lowland Sheepdog (PON) is a robust sheepdog with roots in Tibet. In
fact, it is said that the heavy fur which covers the eyes of this
sheepdog is a natural adaptation to the glaring sunlight of the region.
Nomadic tribes traveled with the ancestors of Polish Lowland Sheepdogs
during their migration to European countries and the breed became
established among the local population. Polish Lowland Sheepdogs
developed a reputation for hard work, loyalty and strong herding
instincts. The breed's herding instincts have survived for
centuries and even today, they still need a job and will attempt to herd
their human families in the absence of sheep. Polish Lowland Sheepdog (PON)
lovers will appreciate reading the PON Digest online publication to
learn more about this beloved breed.

The
International All-Breed Canine Association of America
(IABCA) began approximately seventeen years ago with the
intent of
making an International "UCI" Championship
Title available to the
American public without exposing the dogs to the danger
and
inconvenience of international travel. To
accomplish this an
association was formed with an International Association
of dog clubs
headquartered in Germany, the Union Cynologie
International (UCI). The
UCI has been in existence for over thirty years.
There are many
countries throughout Europe, North America and the Far
East represented
in the association. Through UCI
International Titles are awarded to
dogs who meet the stringent requirements of their
specific breed
standard in their country of origin.
IABCA shows are held in accordance with the German
regulations and
guidelines that have been established by UCI. The
guidelines provide
for a WRITTEN CRITIQUE OF EACH DOG ENTERED and a rating
number of how
well a dog conforms to the International "UCI"
breed standard. The
rating a dog receives, based on the critique, will
determine the type of
championship certificate awarded.
On the weekend of May 15th and 16th 2010, in
Hutchinson Minnesota,
Stash and Paczki each earned their International Ch.
Titles and their
IABCA Ch.Titles under the very capable handling of
Tom Pirc, my husband.
Closing date for the upcoming
specialty is June show is June 2,
2010.

When your PON is scheduled for a tooth
cleaning or any other surgical procedure which
requires anesthesia, it is of utmost importance
that food is withheld at least twelve hours
prior to surgery. Not only will this prevent
your PON from vomiting and inhaling stomach
contents during surgery, but it will also reduce
nausea as your PON regains consciousness. This
advice is vital for the well being of your PON
and needs the co-operation of all family
members.

Cranberries go
to the dogs ... and cats By DUNSTAN PRIAL,
Standard-Times staff writer
The human health benefits of cranberries have been
recognized by medical science for decades.
Now the cranberry industry hopes the nation's millions
of pet owners will apply the same concept to their
beloved cats and dogs.
A study to be released today by UMass Dartmouth's Center
for Business Research has identified the $14
billion-a-year pet food industry as a potentially
wide-open market for the slumping cranberry
Green
lipped mussels for
alleviating arthritis in dogs.
Green-lipped mussel (Perna canaliculus)
is a New Zealand shellfish, from which an extract has
been shown to be useful in the treatment of rheumatoid
arthritis and osteoarthritis .
Green-lipped mussel inhibits inflammation in the
body. Although inflammation is normal under certain
conditions, consistent inflammation can result in
pain and damage to the body, including the joints.

Striving towards a well
balanced Healthy PON digestive system
The concepts of Yin and Yang contributed
to the Chinese scientific system, particularly in fields
like biology and medicine The organs of the body were
seen to be interrelated in the same kinds of ways as
other natural phenomena, and most understood by
searching for cause and effect. Illness was seen as a
disturbance in the balance of Yin and Yang caused
by emotions, heat or cold, or other influences. Therapy
thus depended on accurate diagnosis of the source of the
imbalance.
PON owners can readily apply Yin and Yang to their
management of PON nutrition and ultimately to solving
digestive issues.

CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) is the process of breathing
life back
into an unconscious human. A similar technique can also work
effectively on dogs.
The signs that indicate the need for CPR include
unconsciousness, lack of
arousal, lack of physical movement, or eye blinking. These
symptoms can occur
from drowning, choking, electrical shock, or a number of other
situations.
The key to canine CPR is remembering the ABCs:
European sources have confirmed the
effective use of vinegar for flea control. To be sure of
complete protection, please spray often (every hour) and
pour a small amount of apple cider vinegar into your
PON'S drinking water on a regular basis.

If
you are one of those conscientious PON owners
who have spent untold amounts of money with your
local veterinarian for gunky ear problems, then
it is high time to take matters into your own
hands and look further than expensive veterinary
ear solutions and ear cleaning sessions at
your vet's office.What are the main causes of
canine ear problems ? Most veterinarians will
agree that the most common underlying causes of
ear problems in dogs are allergic reactions
(inhalant and food allergies).
Occasionally, PON owners will post to
Yahoogroups about bumps or fatty tumors they have come
across while grooming their PONS and inquire if this is
common in the breed. The answer is not uncomplicated,
but studies indicate that overweight dogs are more
susceptible to fatty tumors called lipomas. These
lipomas have the consistency of a baggy filled with
water and may be found all over a PON's body. For newbie
owners this is scary and may result in a quick visit to
