Who is this dog for?

 My husband and I.

Why do you want a Pembroke?
 We have a medium sized dog now (Moose), with probably a medium amount energy if I had to put that on a scale. We have recently decided to get another dog, and wanted someone just as playful. We know they may need a slow introduction to each other, but we have done a lot of work to really socialize our current pup. We brush our boy once a week, clean ears daily because he has some ear issues, and bathe and clip nails at home, so we are ready for a heavy shedder! Our current boy is a rottie, so we keep an eye on his hips, and I know corgis need the same. We also would like another herder. Our pup has always herded things so we got him a large exercise ball that he herds, so I can only imagine having another herder! We know they are playful and social with people and that’s a big plus. I have helped train dogs most of my life, and my husband and I trained Moose together. We are always looking for more ways to get our guy’s brain working so we already have lots of puzzles a smarty pants corgi may do well with.

Activities planned with Pembroke:
 We would take them to walk a bike path, hike, bike, run, swim, fetch, herd if they want, do puzzles, and of course cuddle.

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: 		I believe the best way to train is with positive reinforcement. We will try to do the task again, and do it right more than we do it wrong. It’s teamwork, if they aren’t getting it after a bit, we will find a better way.

Discipline:
 Moose is our only dog right now. If he’s being stubborn or doing something he’s not supposed to I like to make him sit as a reset and then do a task. It makes him calm down and then he gets to do something good.

Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:
 We would start in our extra large crate, then move to being out in the living room. After some test runs they can have the run of the house. Obviously we will have to see how they get along with our pup, as they may have to start of in different areas while they get used to having the other around.

House dog or outside dog?

 House dog

People at home during the day?
 Most days either my husband or I are home. On days we both are at work we have a sitter that comes over a couple times during the day and takes them out to walk or play outside.

Where would dog eat?
 In our kitchen. We would get the dogs acclimated to eating in the same area but can always start apart until they find it normal.

Where would dog sleep:
 Mostly crated in the living room. Probably with me and our other dog when my husband is working overnight.

Play & exercise:
 We go for long walks twice a day. Sometimes I start with a game of fetch before we walk. In the summer we go to the beach a lot and bring our pup, as he loves swimming. We go to a large, fenced in area some days to play with the herding/exercise ball as well.

How will you exercise your dog?
 Both on leash and restrained to the yard

Fenced yard?

 No, I don’t have a fenced in yard.

Willing to pick up dog waste?
 Yes, I will clean up after my dog.

Willing to use a crate?

 Yes, everyone agrees and wants to adopt a Pembroke Welsh Corgi.

Current pets dog friendly?

 Yes, all of our current pets are friendly toward dogs.

Are you willing to work on it if your new dog doesn’t get along with your current pets right away?
 Yes. We know it also will probably take time to get used to having each other around. We know coming to a new home is already a lot of stress, and having another dog in their life also can be stressful. We also know for our current dog, he will have to learn to have someone else as a part of our home/family.

Lifetime commitment to Pembroke?

 Yes, I am willing to commit to this dog for the rest of its life.

Return to Lakeshore if unable to care for Pembroke?
 Yes, I will only surrender my adopted corgi to LPWCR if I am unable to care for it.

Understand no guarantees?

 Yes, I understand that there are no guarantees regarding the condition, health, behavior or personality of the Pembroke I adopt.

Carefully considered the pluses and minuses of adopting a pet?
 Yes, I have carefully thought out my decision to adopt a Pembroke and am willing to deal with the consequences.
