Other preferences:
 We are a dog-saavy household that currently has two Saint Bernards; one with a rescue background, that are coming up on 11 years and one that just turned 4 years. We're hoping to add another member to our family to offer companionship to our younger boy as his 'sister' continues to age. They are both well socialized with other dogs, both big and small as well as altered and unaltered. However, our lady, Kylah, generally prefers males while our male, Hugo, does well with both but is more used to being around males.

Who is this dog for?

 For us and our family, 2 Saint Bernards.

Why do you want a Pembroke?
 I have always been a fan of the herding group and grew up with various breeds as both family and farm dogs; Australian Cattle Dogs, Border Collies, Australian Shepherds, German Shepherds, and various crosses. Corgi's have always been a favorite with their strong, stubborn, smart, loving, and independent personalities, compacted into a smaller body, we think they'd make a great addition to our family! We are familiar with the breed, their training and health needs and believe we can offer a great home to a rescue.

Activities planned with Pembroke:
 We like to bring our dogs with us whenever we can whether that's to a brewery, a family member's house, a picnic or park, or a road trip, thus we like having social pets. However, we know that that's not always the case with a rescue and oftentimes, more time, confidence-building and a bond built over time are needed prior to such outings are necessary.

 On our main levels with both of us and the other dogs, always supervised while outside in our fenced yard and strictly an indoor, family dog.

House dog or outside dog?

 House dog

People at home during the day?
 It depends on the day of the week- I typically work long shifts (12 hours) thus have days off during the week but work every other weekend while David works 8a-4p Monday-Friday but has the flexibility of working from home when needed. On the days I work, including commute, the dogs are typically home alone for about 8 hours.

Where would dog eat?
 We feed our dogs on our main, kitchen level. The Saints have raised, stainless-steel dishes over a mat; the corgi's dish would be either on a mat on the floor or raised slightly depending on size.

Where would dog sleep:
 Likely in a crate until trustworthy with free-roam whether due to age, past circumstances, or comfortable with our current resident dogs.

Play & exercise:
 We have a good-sized fenced yard as well as play with our current, resident dogs, playdates with family and friend's dogs, outings to public places such as breweries, picnics, etc, and walks.

How will you exercise your dog?
 Both on leash and restrained to the yard

Fenced yard?

 Yes, I have a fenced in yard.
