Temperament :
Originally bred for herding sheep and cattle, they have proven themselves as excellent companion animals and are outstanding competitors in sheepdog trials. Like most herding breeds, Pembrokes are highly intelligent, active, athletic dogs. Affectionately known as "a big dog in a small package," Pembrokes are affectionate, devoted companions that can also be alert and responsible guardians. Wary of strangers, it should be properly socialized and trained when it is still young - to avoid over-protective behavior as an adult.
