Questions Regarding Motivation for Adopting and Intentions
Who is this dog for?	Me and significant other.
Why do you want a Pembroke?	My brother has a wonderful Corgi, named Bucky. When he adopted Bucky, my whole family fell in love with the breed. He is actually now a certified therapy dog that goes to nursing homes and hospitals. He is energetic, fun-loving, and a dorky dog. I have learned a lot about the breed through further research and through my experiences with my brother and Bucky. If I were to get any breed of dog, corgis are at the top of my list.
Activities planned with Pembroke:	We would go on nice short walks and lounge around the house. I plan to have him/her travel with us to visit friends and family. I would love to him/her to dog parks. If the personality is fit for therapy dog life, I would love to train and certify the dog to give back to the community. As a nurse, I have seen the wonderful impact that dog therapy has for patients and myself.

Vet contact info:
Will handle mistakes Pembroke makes like this:	I would not yell at the dog, because that makes them anxious and confused. For example, if the couch is torn up, there is not much we can do – its already torn up and yelling at the dog is going to make them upset, anxious, and confused. Instead, I would refocus the dog away from the mistake and praise them when they perform good deeds to help the dog understand good behavior.
Discipline:	Main thing is to not confuse the dog with praise for bad behavior. Refocusing the dog is key.
Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:	Most of the time the dog would be with us inside or outside. If we are out and about without the dog, we plan to have the dog be able to roam about in the living space.

House dog or outside dog?	House dog
People at home during the day?	Yes.
Where would dog eat?	We have an open concept living space. We plan to have the bowls near the kitchen.
Where would dog sleep:	We plan to have a dog bed in the bedroom, but we would like to see how the dog interacts and figure out where the dog would be comfortable. I know dogs that find comfort in their kennel if that is what they are used to, or they might like a dog bed. So this we would have to play by ear.
Play & exercise:	There are a lot a nice trails and dog parks in the area. We would take the dog outside frequently throughout the day. I would love for the dog to play with other dogs by meeting up with our family and friends' dogs, as well as dogs at the dog parks.
