Questions Regarding Motivation for Adopting and Intentions
Who is this dog for?	Pembroke is for our family. My husband Cameron and I have a very sweet almost 3 year old daughter that loves animals and an older yellow lab that is our family dog. We had a golden retriever that passed of old age so we have been looking for a sweet pup to bring into our family that we can love and care for. Corgi’s have always been a breed that we have adored so when our golden passed away we knew that the corgi breed would be a great fit for our family.
Why do you want a Pembroke?	I have loved corgi's ever since I was a little girl, I remember my very close friend adopting a corgi when I was little and I just adored the breed ever since. After my husband and I lost our family dog Jackson, our golden retriever we needed to grieve his passing as our dogs are not just pets to us, they are like our children, they are our family and we love them unconditionally because they give us the unconditional love every single day and they deserve it in return. We decided on a corgi because the breed is a little smaller for one, as we have a average size very sweet yellow lab already. The corgi breed will suit our family and we have done our homework on this breed and have fallen in love with it. As we know every dog is different but from what we have learned from doing our research is that typically corgis are very great family dogs and good with kids, as we have a daughter who adores dogs, she has had dogs around her all her life and we would love to bring a sweet corgi into our loving home.
Activities planned with Pembroke:	We are a active family typically. We love to bring our dogs on boat rides, light swimming if the dogs want to, if not they can sunbathe on the boat with me. Little picnics in the park, lots of fun walks, traveling as we love to travel during the summer and we always bring our dogs with us.

Money for basic care?	Yes
Money for unforeseen medical expenses?	Yes

Will handle mistakes Pembroke makes like this:	We have raised two puppies, we do not believe in harsh punishment ever in our home. We use our words and for example with our yellow lab, when he was a puppy he tore up my husbands very expensive cowboy boots, we moved the boots so the puppy could no longer reach them, told him no and that was naughty and moved on. It was our fault for not moving them, just like having a baby you have to puppy proof the home and use your words so your puppy can learn for explain “bad” and “no” and to show the puppy the mistake they made and then move on. Puppies are little and are going to make mistakes that’s why you need to teach them, but also have a loving bond with them so this means being kind always even when they make mistakes, you show them the mistake and say that’s bad, tell them no then move on from the mistake. Mistakes happen, that’s part of life, but we would never hold a mistake no matter how big against the puppy, they are just growing and learning and that takes time.
Discipline:	We do not believe in harsh punishment, we use our words to discipline when it’s needed. Bad and naughty and no for when the pup makes an oops or does something bad, you show them the mistake and tell them that’s bad and then you move on and when they don’t make the same mistake you always reward them with lots of hugs and kisses and treats of course.
Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:	I’m a fashion blogger online so I work from home and care for my daughter so the pembroke would spemd most of their time with me at home, we take daily walks with our yellow lab so of course we would bring the pembroke with us. On weekends we love to be outside at the park, the beach, taking our boat out and we always bring our dogs with us.

People at home during the day?	Yes, I’m home during the day always as I work from home and care for my daughter.
Where would dog eat?	In the dining room where we always keep the food and water bowl.
Where would dog sleep:	The pembroke can sleep In the dog beds we keep in my husbands and I’s Room. But most nights the corgi would probably sleep with my husband and I as we allow our dogs to rest on our bed and the living room couch. If the pembroke wants to they could even sleep in our daughters bed. She’s almost three and sleeps in a twim bed, so the sweet puppy can have its choice of their very own dog bed which we keep in our room, with my husband and I or with our daughter. We are comfortable with all of it as long as the pembroke is comfortable too.
Play & exercise:	We exercise daily, we are a very active family. I’m a runner so on my shorter runs I would bring the pembroke, we also go on daily walks with our yellow lab and my daughter loves to ride her bike. My husband is a huge swimmer and out on the lake always so especially during the summer the pembroke will spend a lot of time light swimming, boat rides and being on the go with us. We love to go to the dog park and let our dogs run and throw the tennis ball for them too. The pembroke will get daily exercise with our family.

Fenced yard?	Yes, I have a fenced in yard.
