Questions Regarding Motivation for Adopting and Intentions
Who is this dog for?	Us
Why do you want a Pembroke?	Over the years we have come to love the look and personality traits of Pembroke Welsh Corgis. While small and commanding, they also have big hearts. Though we don't have experience with Corgis themselves, we have both had dogs growing up and feel we are up for the challenge. We have gotten to know a few Corgis that we've absolutely loved and can't wait to become Corgi parents ourselves. We have done some research into overall temperament and health issues such as hip dysplasia, degenerative myeloplathy, and especially obesity. We understand that while these dogs are cute and lovable, they are also originally bred to be herding dogs and need to be treated as such. Living in the city would not hinder our dog's health, we are close to lots of dog parks and good veterinarians.

Will handle mistakes Pembroke makes like this:	It would depend on the mistake. Overall, we would be firm and repetitive with training. We would use verbal commands to let our Corgi know they did something wrong. For example, should the issue be biting or jumping we would use a time-out as a way of showing our Corgi that is not good behavior.
Discipline:	Treats and praise for good behavior. For bad behavior, verbal commands and time-outs.
