Questions Regarding Motivation for Adopting and Intentions
Who is this dog for?	For our family – we have a 5-year-old daughter, Lucille and a 1.5-year-old adopted dog (Treeing Walker Coonhound) named Grace.
Why do you want a Pembroke?	Our old dog Sally loved to play with a Corgi when she was a young dog in New York. The Corgi loved to play, could keep up with the big dogs, was curious, thoughtful and loved to learn. Since knowing this dog, we have researched Corgis and found these small herding dogs have a lot in common with our Border Collie (who we loved).
Activities planned with Pembroke:	Our current dog activities include trips to the dog park, walks in the woods, frisbee, and ball games. We would like to eventually get into agility work and/or therapy work. It will depend on the dog and what he/she is good at and likes doing. We enjoy taking our dogs on trips where we can explore nature together.
Aware that Pembrokes are busy, noisy dogs?	Yes
Money for basic care?	Yes

Vet contact info:
Will handle mistakes Pembroke makes like this:	We use positive training. Our current trainer is My Hero Dog Training in Commerce Twp, MI where we work on staying positive and teaching the behavior we want. If he/she makes a mistake we would show them the correct thing to do. (Example, if the dog chews on furniture, give it a toy to chew instead. Then reward him/her for chewing on the right thing.)
Discipline:	We would try to teach the right behavior and then redirect to correct behavior and if all else fails, remove the dog from the situation.
Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:	Due to our family schedule, we utilize a dog daycare for our hound. During the weekday the dogs will be there (unless we are home) and on the evenings/weekends, the dog will be with us, doing whatever we are doing. We typically take a walk in the woods and/or visit the dog park during the weekend.
