Questions Regarding Motivation for Adopting and Intentions
Who is this dog for?	My husband and I
Why do you want a Pembroke?	Corgis are the best dogs on earth!!! In addition to having the cutest little faces, they are super loyal, adventurous, athletic and playful. They are stubborn and sassy and full of personality. They are highly illtelligent and eager to socialize with other people and pets! I can take my Corgi anywhere and she gets along with everyone!! From people to babies to bunnies, she is very sweet and motherly. Her herding behavior is comical to watch when my nieces and nephews come to visit. My husband and I are constantly entertained by our little blonde angel, named Saydi. I have done very extensive research on the breed and we are fully aware of their negative traits, such as insessant barking. After owning and loving a Corgi for the last 11 years, we can’t imagine our life without a Corgi in it forever.
Activities planned with Pembroke:	Daily walks, swimming and boat rides at the lake during the summer, playing fetch, visiting family and friends, car rides, doggy lattes, Corgi spa days, snuggling in the mornings and evenings.
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

Will handle mistakes Pembroke makes like this:	It depends on the type of mistake. I would make the dog aware of right and wrong behavior by using training techniques. I would use stern commands to correct bad behavior and positive reinforcement to reward good behavior.
Discipline:	Positive reinforcement, like rewarding good behavior with treats. For negative behavior, I would use stern commands and spend more time training the dog to listen to commands. Corgis are super stubborn, so discipline can be a bit challenging! I would also be willing to go to obedience classes, if necessary.
Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:	At home, with my husband and I. I work part time, so my dog is only alone for a maximum of 4 hours at a time. On the weekends, we go to the lake, and we always take our Corgi with us. She has never been in a crate in her life!! When we go out of town, she stays with my brother in his home, with his wife, kids, and their dogs!

House dog or outside dog?	House dog
People at home during the day?	Yes, I work part time, between 8-16 hours per week. I work second shift and my husband works first shift – so our dog is never home alone for more than 4 hours.
Where would dog eat?	In the kitchen, on the tile floor. Or wherever they would prefer to eat! For some strange reason, my Corgi has always preferred to have her food bowl on carpet. So she eats on the rug in the living room, because the rest of our main living area is laminate flooring.
Where would dog sleep:	In a dog bed in our bedroom, or on a dog bed in the living room. Or on the couch, or in a human bed, wherever they prefer to sleep!
Play & exercise:	Daily walks, playing fetch in the backyard, playing with a basket full of toys inside, playing in the water at the lake, playing at their doggy cousins houses!
