Questions Regarding Motivation for Adopting and Intentions
Who is this dog for?	This Pembroke is for myself.
Why do you want a Pembroke?	I have always been a fan of the breed before the trends began,, starting from a childhood fascination with the Queen of England. I grew up in a family who always adopted mixed dogs and I part-time dog-sat a Pembroke Welsh Corgi during my high school and college years. I love that corgis are independent but loyal, similar to myself. They're a smaller dog but still active, sturdy, and hard-workers, which is something I need as a jogging buddy and love to train my dogs.
Activities planned with Pembroke:	I've recently run a half marathon and keep up with jogging for 5K's otherwise, for which I would love for my corgi to join me. I also live near the lake shore and dog parks, where they have agility equipment set up, and I would like to work with my corgi to play fetch and train.
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?	No
Vet contact info:
Will handle mistakes Pembroke makes like this:	I'm a big fan of positive reinforcement, so if the Pembroke pees in the house, for example, I would clean it up and not give the pup any attention for it – no eye contact, speaking, nothing. Then I would take the corgi out to pee outside and make a HUGE deal over how amazing they are (because I know Pembrokes love attention) and continue this pattern. I also would make sure any reinforcement was immediate, as to not to confuse the Pembroke for a behavior they did an hour or so ago.
Discipline:	Positive reinforcement, consistent command words to avoid confusion, sound association (whistles, click).
Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:	The majority of the time would be spent inside aside from walks and park time.

Play & exercise:	I walk every day and run every other day, so it's consistent. With a dog, I would add an additional walk in the evenings and bring the dog with me to parks and outdoor events on the weekends. Average play / exercise time per day will be about 2-3 hours per weekday and 3-4 on weekends.
