Who is this dog for?

 This corgi will be my companion in graduate school. I am a senior graduating from Purdue University, and I will be moving to St. Louis in August to start graduate school. I grew up on a farm with corgis, so I am looking forward to having my own companion at school with me.

Why do you want a Pembroke?
 Growing up and currently, we have two pembroke corgis. They have brought so much joy into my life! They are playful enough to play outside with us and hangout, but also snuggle up and chill at the end of a long hard day. I love that each individual dog has such a unique and loyal personality- they truly become family members. I have had nothing but positive experiences with the breed and I am looking forward to having my own. I have done research on the breed and having corgis we know we need to keep an eye on their weight to avoid added stress to their joints!

Activities planned with Pembroke:
 Moving to St. Louis there are many dog park and there is Forest Park in my neighborhood. Forest Park is a 1,000 acre park in the middle of the city. I enjoy staying outside and being active so I look forward to exercising my corgi on a regular basis and playing with them in the park. Our corgis will play all day but also will sit at our feet when we are watching a movie or doing work – and I plan on doing these same things with mine!

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? No

Do you have a veterinarian?

 Yes

Vet contact info:
 {If yes, please provide contact information including the vet’s name, clinic name, street address, city, state, zip, and phone. Also include the website if there is one.:52}

Will handle mistakes Pembroke makes like this: 		When we were training our corgis, they were fast learners and quickly learned the word “no”. Once they learned it, we would use a stern “no” to steer them away from chewing things they weren’t supposed to. For potty training, we used a crate in the beginning and would always take them out right when they woke up and after they ate. We never used any physical discipline and if they did a good thing, they were rewarded.

Discipline:
 Again, we taught them the word “no”. If they didn’t listen to that then calling their name sternly usually got their attention. For example, if they had gotten into the trash we would scold them with a “no” and their name and then make them lay down and stay for 5-10 mins. Again, we never used physical discipline on them because they are our family members.

Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:
 They would spend most of their time in my apartment with me and outside for exercise. Our student lounge at the grad school allows pets so I would bring them with me to study and hangout. They will be with me as much as possible.

House dog or outside dog?

 House dog

People at home during the day?
 Yes, I will have roommates and they have all owned and cared for dogs before. While at home, my dad is always home.

Where would dog eat?
 At home, each corgi has their own little hutch for eating and relaxing – their own little space. I plan to create a similar environment for my corgi.

Where would dog sleep:
 My corgi would sleep in my bedroom with me in their own bed on the ground next to my bed. Corgis have such little legs and long backs it is dangerous to have them sleep in the bed with you in case they want to jump down (they may hurt themselves!!).

Play & exercise:
 I plan on taking them to dog parks and on walks in Forest Park as I mentioned earlier. Outside exercise will be about 45mins to an hour everyday, but will get an additional hour to hour and a half of play inside.

How will you exercise your dog?
