Questions Regarding Motivation for Adopting and Intentions
Who is this dog for?	Myself.
Why do you want a Pembroke?	I have experience with a lot of dogs – I grew up with a Bernese Mountain Dog and a Golden Retriever. I also volunteered at the Dane county humane society. I love dogs with personality. I dog sat for a Corgi a few years ago and what I loved was how their personality was SO much bigger than their bodies. With a Bernese it makes sense that they have a big personality because they are huge. It fascinated me with a Corgi how they were so little but such a huge personality. I've research training and care for a Corgi, and other small dogs especially how it relates to apartment living.
Activities planned with Pembroke:	The three main thing would be walks, dog parks, and hanging out with my friends who also have (very nice!) dogs. I live very close to a nature preserve which would make for interesting walks. The Madison WI area is very dog friendly, and there are a number of dog parks to go to. I also am an avid photographer, so taking a companion along would be great.

Money for basic care?	Yes
Money for unforeseen medical expenses?	Yes
Willing to house train?	Yes Willing to do formal training? Yes

Vet contact info:
Will handle mistakes Pembroke makes like this:	It depends. If it happens when I'm away there isn't much to do because they likely have no memory, or wouldn't be able to be trained from it. When I have worked with dogs in the past I use stern, firm, but not hostile commands to work with training dogs, and combined with treat rewards it works well
Discipline:	Treat reward/repetition are the best ways I've found to train a dog to commands. Praise is, in my opinion, the best reward for house training a dog. Stern but not hostile "No" has worked the best for me in getting dogs to stop a negative behavior.
Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:	My apartment, walks, dog parks, or friends' yards. If they like car rides, we can do that too.

House dog or outside dog?	House dog
People at home during the day?	No; I do however live very close to work and there are a number of different doggy daycares if I go that route.
Where would dog eat?	Id have their bowls on the kitchen or dining room floor (those are the hard surface floors where I live – easier to clean).
Where would dog sleep:	I will either invest in a crate or purchase a dog mattress where they can sleep.
Play & exercise:	I play on taking them out for daily walks, weather permitted of course, for at least a half hour a day, but more like a hour. Play can be done at home too, and while the weather is good I'd want to take them to a dog park or a friends fenced in yard at least once every other week.
