 We do have another dog that would need to be introduced to any dog we consider adopting. I want to make sure they will get along before we bring another dog into our home. He is friendly and has gotten along well with most every dog he's met but I'd rather be safe and have a meeting beforehand.

Who is this dog for?

 Steve and I love corgis and would love to adopt one who needs a good home. We have an adult male mixed-breed dog, Bojangles, (70 pounds) who gets along very well with other animals including the corgis he has met. We have a large yard and plenty of dog beds waiting for our new family member. Our new family member would be crate trained in our home and would likely come to work with me (Megan) several days a week if possible.

Why do you want a Pembroke?
 Corgis are smart and challenging dogs. I have been enjoying the continuing process of training with BoJangles and am excited to work with an intelligent herding breed. I also think they are adorable, obviously but that isn't the main driver behind our desire to adopt.

Activities planned with Pembroke:
 Regular walks, training activities to learn basic commands and if possible more complicated training, hiking and camping when possible, fetch, relaxing at home, etc. We bring our dogs with us everywhere we can (if appropriate).

Aware that Pembrokes are busy, noisy dogs?
 Yes

Money for basic care?

 Yes

Money for unforeseen medical expenses?
 Yes

Willing to house train?

Willing to do formal training? Yes

Do you have a veterinarian?

 Yes

 {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: 		See answer for Discipline below

Discipline:
 distraction & correction,, rewards for correcting bad behavior, grabbing the scruff of the neck to stop a bad behavior while loudly saying no, giving the dog an alternate activity (command or toy) to discourage the bad behavior – honestly it depends on the situation. Our current boy is very food driven so rewards with treats is how we work with him. However, this isn't a great option for corgis due to their size.

Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:
 With me as much as possible, in our home, in our yard supervised, he or she will have a crate in one of our bedrooms for crate training with the goal of graduating to free reign within certain parts of our home (living room/kitchen).
