Type of Dog Wanted
Ages interested in:	0 months – 1 year (we rarely get dogs in this age group), 1 year – 3 years	Gender preferred:	Either a Male or a Female	Color preferred:	Any color	Activity level:	Couch Potato, Outgoing, Quiet, Playful, Energetic, Very Active
Other preferences:	I would prefer a younger dog that I can work with and train. That way they're more likely to become socialized with other dogs and kids ideally too. Where older dogs that haven't been socialized I find are harder to work with to getting them to become comfortable with that. I believe most Corgis although quirky are all sweet hearts, at least from my experiences.

Questions Regarding Motivation for Adopting and Intentions
Who is this dog for?	We're looking to add to our family. Right now I live in a house with my Wife and have 3 acres of land that our dogs play in. We have an older border collie (he's almost 13) and a 11 month old chihuahua pup and they are both very friendly.
Why do you want a Pembroke?	They are beautiful, fun dogs. I have some friends that own one and I actually have wanted one since I was about 15. I'd prefer to adopt a dog then purchase one from a potential puppy mill.
Activities planned with Pembroke:	I like to go for walks with my pups. I go play in the yard with them as well. Harold loves to play frisbee and chase around tennis balls where Tanner likes to explore so I have to keep a close eye on him. He's a trouble maker if I let him. I've taken both to dog obedience classes that teach through positive reinforcement.
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?	Yes

Will handle mistakes Pembroke makes like this:	It depends on the mistake. I believe it's important to let them know right away if they make a mistake. I usually usually will scold them if I catch them in the act and may use lime juice if needed. Something like them having an accident just takes work and repetition. Plus rewarding them when they do well and positive reinforcement makes a huge difference. Dogs don't mean to do things wrong, it's usually because they don't understand and need to be worked with.
Discipline:	Scolding, Time out in kennel, lime juice.
Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:	My house and outside with the other pups. My wife works from home so one of us is here at all times.

House dog or outside dog?	House dog
People at home during the day?	Yes, my wife.
Where would dog eat?	In the house. We would get him a food and water dish like the other pups.
Where would dog sleep:	I suppose it would depend on where it likes to sleep. I leave the kennel door open with a bed on it and my border collie likes to sleep in there a lot. My chihuahua has a bed at the end of our bed that he likes to sleep in.
Play & exercise:	Taking him/her for walks. We have a yard to run in as well. Also we have toys like frisbees, kongs, and balls. When the weather is nice we go to the cabin and bring our mobile invisible fence that doesn't require to bury a wire. It works well and you can adjust the size both of our dogs do well with it since they know the beeping means they're near the edge of the area they can go.
