The polish lowland sheepdog is believed to have come to Europe with immigrating asian people who came several thousand years ago. They brought both mastiff-like mountain dogs, as well as smaller longhaired breeds that worked as sheep herders. These dogs are believed to be very similar to the modern polish lowland sheepdog, and originally came in several sizes, one of them similar to the bearded collie.

Until the 1970's this breed was very rare around the world, but today it can be seen in several countries and has gained popularity especially in Britain.
