Who is this dog for?

 This Pembroke would be joining our family (my husband, our lab/border collie mix, any myself)!

Why do you want a Pembroke?
 Yes, we've done research on Pembroke Welsh Corgis and feel that their activity level and temperament would be a perfect fit in our family. We love going on hikes, taking trips to the dog beach, and playing "brain games" (like hiding treats and toys) with our dog Wrigley and think these activities would be loved by a Pembroke as well! Our experience with Pembrokes has primarily been interactions at the dog park and watching them team up with our dog to herd other dogs at the park.

Activities planned with Pembroke:
 As said above, we love going to the dog beach, going on hikes, taking long walks through the neighborhood, playing fetch in our fenced in yard, and creating mini obstacle courses or puzzles when the weather keeps us inside.

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 would depend on the mistake but in general I would say try to immediately correct the behavior. So if the mistake was jumping on someone, I would ask the dog to sit and reward the good behavior.

Discipline:
 We would use positive reinforcement to increase the behaviors we want to see and hopefully decrease the need discipline. Thing still happen so we would also practice commands like "leave it," or "drop it" so in the event it ever picked up something dangerous or harmful we could keep the dog safe.

Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:
 The Pembroke would spend most of it's time with our family; either playing at home or going where we go.

House dog or outside dog?

 House dog

People at home during the day?
 Yes, my husband works from home.

Where would dog eat?
 Our corgi would eat in the kitchen.

Where would dog sleep:
 Depending on the needs of the corgi, we would consider crate training if it would help it adjust to the new environment. Otherwise we have room in our bedroom, space in our living room, and a dog bed by a big window. Our dog Wrigley likes to patrol the house while we're asleep so he makes use of multiple spots; the corgi would be able to too if it wanted.

Play & exercise:
 Our current play/exercise routine (which would be increased if our addition has more energy!) is running around and playing chase in the yard in the morning, a midday or post work walk for at least an hour, fetch/keep away/other toy based games throughout the rest of the day, and a few more runs outside. We get creative! After the storm last week my husband built a maze in the snow for Wrigley!

Fenced yard?

 Yes, I have a fenced in yard.
