Who is this dog for?

Hello, my name is Donna Kirk and I live in St. Louis MO. I have been a two-time corgi owner, and just lost my last wonderful boy on Feb 2 of this year at the age of 12. I’m finally ready to fill that huge hole in my home and heart that was left after saying goodbye to Dewey. Both of my previous boys were from a breeder in Michigan. I'm now thinking about adopting a rescue corgi. Of the two rescue groups in Missouri one is not currently adopting and the other has one dog on PetFinder that does not sound like a good match. So I'm reaching out to you. You can reach me by email or by phone/text @ 269-744-2432. I have a fenced in yard, I work from home and plan to retire in two years, I’m very active and my corgis always go with me. My circle of friends all have dogs and we socialize weekly with our dogs, both at home and in parks. I have an RV and my dog camps with me. My dogs are my closest companions. Thank you for any consideration. I look forward to hearing from you.

Why do you want a Pembroke?
I have owned two corgis and know many others. I was a horse trainer for many years and many people in my circle had corgis. I have loved the breed for many years because of their dedication, tenacity, hardiness, intelligence, and spirit.

Activities planned with Pembroke:
Walks, hikes, socialize with other dog people, camp, participate in agility work if he is interested.

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?

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:
It depends on what the mistake is. Was it my fault? Had he been left to his own devices for too long? Was he bored? I look to the source for the mistake before penalizing the dog. If he was wrong, I fix the source of the mistake -take it out of the equation for next time. If he has something he shouldn't, I give him something else to focus on. I use positive reinforcement in training.

Discipline:
Discipline?, or training? Consistency, positive reinforcement, exercise are the best methods for keeping a dog our of trouble. My discipline is a matter of immediate response with a firm NO and then redirect to the appropriate behavior following up with praise (and treats where needed).


Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:
Near my feet, likely. He will have beds a plenty. Depending on his training, while I'm away he may be in a crate if he feels more secure there. If not, he will have run of the house if he is trustworthy and feels secure there.
