As a rare breed, the puppies tend to be expensive: at least $2000.00.
. . .
The tail is short; tails that are long are generally docked.
. . .
But like other herding breeds, the PON needs lots of mental stimulation in the form of dog work (e.g., obedience, agility training, fetching the paper, or herding your kids and cats) or pure play (e.g., catching balls and Frisbees).
. . .
Trimming & Stripping: No trimming and/or stripping of the coat required.
. . .
The color of almost all PONs will lighten with age, due to a genetic fading factor.
. . .
That willfulness calls for a fairly dominant, authoritative handler who will begin training the dog and exposing him to all kinds of people and situations as a puppy.
