In a remarkable feat of canine achievement, Taz, a spirited Polish Lowland Sheepdog, has etched his name in the annals of herding history. He has become the first Polish Lowland Sheepdog in the world to earn a Level II sheep title in the American Herding Breed Association (AHBA). Taz’s remarkable accomplishment is a testament to his dedication, intelligence, and the unwavering support of his owner, Benigne Dohms.

Watching him excel in the Level II sheep trials has been an incredible journey. Taz has truly shown the world the potential of Polish Lowland Sheepdogs in herding and demonstrated the power of the bond between a dog and its handler.  It’s an honor to be part of history as Taz becomes the first Polish Lowland Sheepdog to earn the Level II sheep title.”

The AHBA’s recognition of Taz’s achievement not only highlights the remarkable abilities of the Polish Lowland Sheepdog breed but also serves as an inspiration to dog owners and enthusiasts worldwide. Herding trials are not just about competition but a celebration of the strong bond that can be formed between a dog and its owner, as they work together to showcase the breed’s natural talents.

Taz’s accomplishment will undoubtedly inspire other Polish Lowland Sheepdog owners to explore the potential of their furry companions in the world of herding. It is a reminder that with hard work, dedication, and unwavering love for their dogs, remarkable feats can be achieved.

Taz’s success is a testament to the endless possibilities that await those who are willing to put in the time and effort to nurture their dog’s natural talents. It is a heartwarming example of the incredible achievements that can be unlocked through dedication, hard work, and a special connection between a dog and its owner.
