Questions Regarding Motivation for Adopting and Intentions
Who is this dog for?	Rich, and I and our corgi, Chip
Why do you want a Pembroke?	We feel they are a good fit with our personalities and lifestyle. We love their intelligence, obedience and sense of humor. We also think they're fun to look at!
Activities planned with Pembroke:	We take a pet friendly vacation annually, several walks daily and play with the toy of their choice as they demand (well almost). We take them on nursing home visits, day trips to visit friends and family. They also go to events including concerts in the park and farmers markets.

Vet contact info:
Will handle mistakes Pembroke makes like this:	If the mistake involves messing in the house, after a verbal correction the dog would go out on a walk or in the yard and mess would get cleaned up without the dog present.
Discipline:	A deep growl type scolding then remove them to a sit and stay "time out" location. I set a timer with a loud ring and they have learned they need to stay until it rings; time out varies by crime 10 to 30 minutes and no one can talk to them to or visit during the time out. They don't like it but our first corgi, Maggie, would do something naughty as a youngster and then go sit in the time out spot and look to me to set the timer! Luckily corgis are pretty good dogs.
Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:	With us, whether it is in the house or yard. We keep a close watch on our dogs.
