Questions Regarding Motivation for Adopting and Intentions
Who is this dog for?	Myself (companion pet)
Why do you want a Pembroke?	I have always loved this breed! I love their big ears and their short, stubby legs. I have friends that have/have had PWCs and I've only heard good things. My personal experiences interacting with these dogs has always been positive. I love being active with dogs and I'm fully aware that PWCs need a lot of exercise. I've done extensive research online and I think he/she'd be a perfect companion.
Activities planned with Pembroke:	Daily walks, rope tug, fetch in the backyard, etc. I have a large, fenced-in backyard (6ft wooden privacy fence) for the dog to run and play.
Aware that Pembrokes are busy, noisy dogs?	Yes
Money for basic care?	Yes
Money for unforeseen medical expenses?	Yes

Vet contact info:
Will handle mistakes Pembroke makes like this:	I would be sure to refrain from spanking/hitting, or anything that may scare or hurt the dog. I feel the best training method is positive reinforcement; to give rewards (food or play/praise) upon completion of a desired behavior.
Discipline:	In my experience, it is sometimes acceptable to scold a dog, but only if you catch them in the act of an undesired behavior. If you scold afterwards, the dog may not know why you're mad and your anger may make the dog afraid of you. The best form of training is positive reinforcement. This teaches the dog to engage in good behavior due to its reward (food, play and/or praise).
Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:	Most of the time would be spent inside the home, but I would make sure to dedicate the appropriate amount of outdoor activity.
