Questions Regarding Motivation for Adopting and Intentions
Who is this dog for?	Myself.
Why do you want a Pembroke?	I have always had a weakness for Pembrokes. Despite having had little personal experience with the breed, I have done a considerable amount of research into it in order to make sure the breed would truly be the right fit. After reviewing the breed's standard traits and needs, I am confident that it would. I am especially attracted to the high intelligence of Pembrokes and their affectionate nature. Both traits, especially intelligence, are very important to me. I also adore the appearance of Pembrokes. They are the perfect size for me and no other breed has managed to capture my heart quite like this one, with their big smiles and pointy ears.
Activities planned with Pembroke:	Go for walks, cuddle and take naps, visit the local dog park (provided s/he would do well in that situation, with other dogs), attend obedience classes and, potentially, agility training.
Aware that Pembrokes are busy, noisy dogs?	Yes
Money for basic care?	Yes
Money for unforeseen medical expenses?	Yes
Willing to house train?	Yes Willing to do formal training? Yes
Do you have a veterinarian?	Yes
Vet contact info:
Will handle mistakes Pembroke makes like this:	Reprimanding the mistake if I am present when it happens, but not if I catch it later. Offering praise and rewards upon her/him learning to correct the mistake.
Discipline:	Firmly telling them no and rewarding them with praise and affection when they listen. Adhering to a set of rules and consistently discouraging unwanted behaviors. Removing objects that cause problems. For example, if s/he continues to chew on something s/he is not supposed to, taking the object away and putting it somewhere out of sight. Focusing on positive reinforcement and constantly rewarding good behavior.
Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:	At home with me indoors and, likely, in his/her indoor kennel when no one is home.
