Who is this dog for?

 This pembroke is for myself, a 22 year old man living in my own apartment and wanting a loving companion to spend time with, go on walks, and play with.

Why do you want a Pembroke?
 I love basically everything about Corgi's. I have actually never had the pleasure to meet one, but I love their personalities, the playfulness and creativeness of the dog really amazes me. I love their short little legs, they just make my heart melt. I was watching videos of Corgi's playing and I saw one flipping its bed upside down onto its head and running around like a bumper car, and I would be so happy to have my own and learn all of its quirks and favorite ways to play.

Activities planned with Pembroke:
 Well, it would be sleeping on my bed of course. And I would take him with me on regular walks, probably at least once or twice a day (with a little doggie coat if its cold outside!). He would be coming with me to visit my girlfriend and her family, along with their three dogs and three cats. We would play many things in the house, like tug of war, fetch, whatever he likes playing the most. I'd be giving him a constant supply of fresh toys and treats (but not too many treats), and I would be very constant with his training. I want to train him myself to be very good at following me and listening to "come" so that if he ever gets outside or off his leash, he doesn't run away.

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? Yes

Do you have a veterinarian?

 No

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: 		Depends on the mistake, but I know from my research that when a dog barks, in order to train it to be quiet quicker you're supposed to ignore it and then it wont feel rewarded because talking to it or looking at it is a reward. So, again, depends on the mistake, but I would never physically punish the dog. I'm against that sort of thing.

Discipline:
 I want to have a reward system, not a punishment system. So if the dog is bad, it gets nothing, but if its good, it gets a reward.

Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:
 With me. If I'm at work or at the grocery store, or something, then it would roam the apartment, or potentially stay with my girlfriend. Once me and my girlfriend move in together (planned for this year sometime) she will be able to watch him/her while I am away, but for now I will be here most of the time. [Please note that during the coronavirus situation my work has me working from home, so I will be home all the time until that is over.]
