Athletic and surprisingly fast, Pembrokes were bred to be herding dogs and require plenty of exercise each day. That said, they make fine apartment dogs as long as they get the physical stimulation they need.

With their short legs and long backs, they should not be expected to hop up on (or down from) the couch or any other modest height--fractures are common.

Pems can adapt quite easily to living in the country or the city. Although their coats are weather-resistant and they do well in most climates, they are very people-oriented, and need to be a part of the family at all times--not left alone in the backyard.
