Questions Regarding Motivation for Adopting and Intentions
Who is this dog for?	Me.
Why do you want a Pembroke?	I love how intelligent, protective, and lovable corgis are. I adore how they look. When my kids were young we absolutely wanted a corgi, rescued one in need, and loved him so much. We had him for 10 years through thick and thin.
Activities planned with Pembroke:	I live right on a 10 mile river walking trail, with a dog park 300 yards away. I can bring my corgi to work, which is a 15 minute walk, and keep in my office. Would like to train it in agility. I have a vacation property where my dog can be safely off leash. I may even get some chickens he or she can herd 🙂 Cudding, brusing, playing in the house. My adult children will also love to visit and play with my corgi.
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?	No
Vet contact info:
Will handle mistakes Pembroke makes like this:	First, I would work from minute 1 to establish a caring rapport with my corgi. In that context I would let it know with tone of voice and facial expression that it behaved wrongly. It might need something like a time out. But I would prefer to rely on positive reinforcement for good behavior.
Discipline:	Positive and selective negative reinforcement with rewards (praise, pets, snacks, etc.). Never hit, never yell at (our previous corgi had a bad early life experience in a puppy mill, we were told, and had some psychoses around closing doors, loud noises, etc. so I am well aware that corgis can both be strong-willed and independent but also sensitive.)
Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:	In my very large house, some out in fenced yard, and out on walks and playing as much as possible. I also have a housemate who is committed to helping care for a corgi.
