Type of Dog Wanted
Ages interested in:	1 year – 3 years, 3 years – 5 years, 5 years – 10 years	Gender preferred:	Either a Male or a Female	Color preferred:	Any color	Activity level:	Couch Potato, Outgoing, Quiet, Playful, Energetic
Other preferences:	I would like to find a Corgi who enjoys the company of people and other dogs (we currently have a 6 year old female Collie). I also have two rabbits, so finding a Corgi with a lower prey drive would be important. I adopted a Husky/Corgi mix that got along with rabbits wonderfully, so I know it is possible! 🙂

Questions Regarding Motivation for Adopting and Intentions
Who is this dog for?	Myself, and also the family
Why do you want a Pembroke?	I thoroughly enjoyed my Husky/Corgi mix (Perry) that I adopted. The personality and temperament of Corgis are well suited to me and my family. I enjoyed working with and training Perry – admiring the independence and strong personality while keeping it in check! The energy level of most Corgis is at the perfect place for me. I have done research on the breed.
Activities planned with Pembroke:	Daily walks, plenty of mental and physical activities, obedience training, other activities if they demonstrate interest (agility, fetch, etc.)
Aware that Pembrokes are busy, noisy dogs?	Yes
Money for basic care?	Yes

Vet contact info:
Will handle mistakes Pembroke makes like this:	Positive reinforcement. I show them what I want them to do, and reward them when they do it. Always ending with a a pleasant, positive interaction! They are very smart, they learn quickly (and notice whether you are consistent or not), and they very much want to please. No scolding here, just consistent, firm expectations!
Discipline:	Same as above – I show them what I want (and reward). I don't scold when I find a mess, I wait for an opportunity to reward good behavior. If something is happening in the moment (whining), I use a verbal "Ah ah" to indicate that it is not acceptable. Barking – I acknowledge what they are trying to tell me, then say "Enough" to let them know that they have done their job. Reasonable barking is okay – I just set limits!
Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:	In the home, in the fenced-in yard
