Who is this dog for?

 This Pembroke is for myself. I have always wanted my own dog and I have always wanted a corgi. I am now in place in my life where I can have a dog and give it the attention it deserves.

Why do you want a Pembroke?
 I want a Pembroke Welsh Corgi because I love these dogs. I love the size of them, and I love that they have the mentality of a larger dog. I have no had much experience with this breed outside of running into them on the street, but I do know all it takes to keep up with their care. I grew up with pure bred Goldens, and although very different breeds, they do have some similarities. I know the importance of checking for ear infections as well as brushing teeth daily. They require a lot of exercise, which is something I can provide as I enjoy being outdoors. I am aware and comfortable with a dog that sheds a lot, and I know how to manage this fur by brushing it constantly. I would take them to our dog park with agility training to give them the opportunity to take part on this as it is something their breed excels in. I know the importance of keeping their food intake strict because obesity can occur easily in this breed. I will find health alternatives to treats to ensure they do not gain this weight.

Activities planned with Pembroke:
 I would take my Pembroke on daily walks outside of just using the bathroom. I would also take them to the fenced in dog park by my house and let them run around as they desire. If they enjoy swimming, I can take them swimming once a week at our lake house. I will also play with them around the house with their favorite toys.

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:
 {If yes, please provide contact information including the vet’s name, clinic name, street address, city, state, zip, and phone. Also include the website if there is one.:52}

Will handle mistakes Pembroke makes like this: 		I would tell the dog no, and then I would put them in a time out for a little bit. After this, I would go up to the dog and calmly, yet sternly, tell them that what they did was bad. I would make sure they understood that it is not the end of the world that they made the mistake, but they must learn from it.

Discipline:
 I would sternly tell them no, and I would use the time out. I would work on teaching them to sit immediately after hearing no in order to gain their attention. Depending on the severity of what the dog has done, I will gently push them to the side to remind them I am dominant and they must listen to me. I will take away attention from them for a little bit so they understood what they did was wrong.

Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:
 My Pembroke would spend most of his/her time with me and out roaming around the house. If I were to leave and no one was home, I would put them in a crate if I was going to be gone for more than an hour

Play & exercise:
