Who is this dog for?

 My family of four, which consists of my wife, Maggie, who is also an attorney, and my two girls, Hazel and Izzie, who will be 3 and 5 this fall.

Why do you want a Pembroke?
 As an only child, I really wanted a dog. I had to argue for seven years to get a dog, progressing from the offer of cat, to a Bichon, when I really wanted a Bernese. This was back in 1993, when I was in fifth grade. No one knew what a Bernese was back then, nor a Corgi. So I researched what small dogs act big, and found the corgi. I was so into my research that I could list more than 130 breeds of dogs off the top of my head. Toby was my dog brother and I had responsibility for training him as a puppy. I kept this job until I left for college and he became my mom's best friend at that time. He lived til almost 13 and died when I was in law school. I love their intelligence and how curious they are, and how they feel like owning a big herder in a small body. My dog was cuddly, but independent and that works great for me!

Activities planned with Pembroke:
 Walks on our long dead end street, hikes in our woods and the many nature preserves in our area in Northern Michigan. Playing fetch, teaching the dog tricks. Grooming too

House dog or outside dog?

 House dog

People at home during the day?
 I would say "house dog" but when we are home, we are outside as much as possible. We are working parents and as of now, our kids are in daycare (who knows with covid, right?). I can come home for lunch (10 min to work) most days to hang with the pup.

Where would dog eat?
 In the dining room, next to the kitchen

Where would dog sleep:
 We liked using a dog bed for my dog, who liked being in the hallway between everyone's rooms (classic herder). I prefer a dog bed to the dog sleeping in people beds

Play & exercise:
 twice a day for sure, some 3rd lunch visits as I mentioned.
