Questions Regarding Motivation for Adopting and Intentions
Who is this dog for?	My husband & myself
Why do you want a Pembroke?	We have had 5 PWCs in the past & have loved each one. We are very familiar with the breed, their activity level & amount of attention they require. They are so full of personality they fill up a house with fun, happiness & love. Here is a brief description of each of our previous dogs: 1, Buck, PWC Bred by my brother & his wife. Had him from puppy to death at age 10. Lymphoma. Great companion for our young son. First dog we owned as adults. 2. Rocky, PWC. Bought from backyard breeder newspaper ads. Had him from puppy to death, age 9. Congestive Heart Failure. His nickname was Psycho Dog. We did not socialize or train properly, and his behavior reflected that. Have learned much since then. 3. Roxie, PWC. Adopted from backyard shelter I found on petfinder. Had her only 9 months. She had been used as a breeder until her last litter all died. She tested positive for heartworm at our initial vet visit. We underwent the treatment for her, but there was too much damage already. She died from Congestive Heart Failure. 4. Lady, PWC. Adopted thru Lakeshore PWC Rescue in 2011. Had her from age 4 thru 12, passed away Dec 2017, from inflammation of the brain, GME or GRE (can't remember which). She was a wonderful dog & we miss her terribly. She went everywhere with us, weekly farmers market, parks all over town, traveled to Oregon & Florida. She was shared heavily on Facebook & had friends & fans all over the country, some of whom we met while traveling & attending Corgi get-togethers. 5. Sadie, PWC. Adopted from friends who rescued her from Craigslist ad in Tenn. She had been a breeder & had 3-4 litters when we got her, age 4. Had her just under 1 year, she died from Lymphoma. We had her & Lady at the same time & really enjoyed having 2. We would like to get 2 again now.
