I could not have picked a better dog for temperament than Charlie. He has loved every person he has met. We are still working on him not jumping up on people to get petted, but he is a bit less jumpy with the children we've met on walks. There are a couple of boys (probably 7 and 9 Y/O) that love to wrestle around and play with him when we see them on our walks. I'll stop and let Charlie play, because he loves it and is gentle with them.
He's also really good with other dogs. He seems happy to trade between dominant and submissive "play language" with other balanced dogs.
The AKC temperamant standard for Pembroke's is "Outlook bold, but kindly. Never shy or vicious."
I have the perfect dog.
