Who is this dog for?

 Dustyn and Shawn

Why do you want a Pembroke?
 I (Dustyn) have always been pro adoption. There are so many animals out there that need homes that often get overlooked for a new puppy. I would love the opportunity to give a little guy or girl a happy home and lots of loves. We fell in love with the quirkiness and personality of Corgis at young ages. Walter is our first together, however, Shawns family has had several while he was groing up.

Activities planned with Pembroke:
 We are relatively active with Walter now. Playing fetch, catch, etc. In the backyard and going on a walk around the neighborhood or neighboring parks/lakes nearby as long as the weather allows. If it's raining, snowing, or too cold we head down to our large and open basement to zoom around and play fetch to get exercise daily.

Aware that Pembrokes are busy, noisy dogs?
 Yes

Money for basic care?

 Yes

Money for unforeseen medical expenses?
 Yes

Willing to house train?

 Yes

Vet contact info:

Will handle mistakes Pembroke makes like this: 		It depends on the situation that is occurring as different acts cause for different actions. Mistakes happen but it is important to react in a positive and coaching manner. Positive interrupter to redirect the dogs attention if they are chewing on something they shouldn't, teach a word or noise to halt the mistake, training to avoid the mistake from happening in the future.

Discipline:
 Walters discipline comes mostly from chewing or getting into things he shouldn't (i.e. a loose shoe, blanket, rug, etc.) For this we are sure to address the situation quickly by offering his favorite toy, using the phrase "leave it", or if he is ignoring us completely we have a timeout bed where we will tell him to go to his place and stay.

Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:
 I (Dustyn) work from home so Walter and our future little one will be with me all day. Walter mostly hangs out with me in the office or living room indoors or trots around the fenced in backyard to soak up the sun in nice weather
