Who is this dog for?

 This Pembroke is intended to be a companion animal for myself

Why do you want a Pembroke?
 As a vet tech I have been around almost every breed imaginable, and some of my favorites have been the corgis. I also I have been around a family members corgi and fell in love with her big dog attitude but in a cute little body. I am aware of the different health problems corgis can have such as DM and hip dysplasia. Also, I understand their need to be at their ideal weight due to the stress obesity can put on their bodies. But regardless, I love corgis for their intelligence and their ability to be trained to do a task (although I realize they may be stubborn). Also, I love their big personalities and actually love that they are prone to barking since I will be living alone.

Activities planned with Pembroke:
 I would like to have Pembroke that will go on walks or short hikes with me but will also cuddle up after a stressful day at work. When timing is appropriate I would love a Pembroke that is sociable and likes to go out and be around other dogs and people.

Will handle mistakes Pembroke makes like this: 		If a the dog makes a mistake I would handle it with patience and understanding by realizing that dogs (like people) are not perfect. Also I know that even the most well trained dogs make mistakes and that is okay.

Discipline:
 If it is a behavioral issue like play bitting or chewing on things it is not suppose to then I would calmly redirect the dogs attention to a more appropriate behavior. And if the behavior persists then I would consider seeking a professionals help. Also I know that corgis respond well to having owners they respect, so I plan to discipline my dog with a stern voice if needed but no forms of negative reinforcement like shock collars.

Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:
 My Pembroke would spend most of his or her time with me at home.
